UMD Increases Mental Health, Wellness Services
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.

Real Talk
Real Talk is a dialogue group focusing on the diverse experiences and needs of Scholars students of color. Discussion topics include microaggressions, cultural appropriation, gender/race roles and balance on campus, hot topics in the news, and more.
We encourage our participants to utilize our Real Talk safe space as a brave space where they can ask difficult questions without judgment, be challenged, and listen to understand, especially when we don't agree. Our goal is to grow together in knowledge as well as community.
Meetings take place every other week.
