Expanded on-campus services for substance use treatment, a wellness ambassadors group for graduate students and peer-led workshops in living-learning communities are among the new initiatives at the University of Maryland this fall to support mental health.
RADical Health, a new peer-led program offered through Carillon Communities and College Park Scholars and introduced to UMD by Kelley, empowers Terps to become leaders in preventative mental health care by giving them the tools to facilitate workshops that get first-year students talking about what’s giving them stress, and how to manage it.
