[GEOG MAJORS] Youth Mental Health & Wellbeing 1-Credit Class in Winter

[Nell Gross via geogu-l]

Greetings,

The University of Washington Population Health Initiative, the College of Education and the School of Social Work are partnering to offer a one-credit General Studies course during winter quarter 2025 that will introduce students to a number of UW and community-based research and programs that are working to improve youth mental health and well-being. Undergraduates and graduate students may take this course for credit; graduate students will need to request an add code.

The course, “Interdisciplinary Approaches to Youth Mental Health and Well-Being<https://sdb.admin.uw.edu/timeschd/uwnetid/sln.asp?QTRYR=WIN+2025&SLN=15223> (GEN ST 498 A / EDPSY581 / SOC W596),” will focus on innovative research and interventions that are successfully breaking down barriers between disciplines that have traditionally hindered positive progress from being realized as quickly as might be possible. A different faculty member or community-based practitioner will present each week to share their unique experiences with students regarding specific approaches they have taken to improve youth mental health and well-being.

Specific topics this course will address include:

  *   Culturally responsive approaches to supporting youth well-being in schools
  *   Community and school-based interventions for adolescents with ADHD and related difficulties in attention, motivation and executive functions
  *   Impact of community-based mentorship for black youth
  *   Assessment of suicide and self-injury to enhance school safety

The course will meet on Thursdays in ART 003 from 10:30 to 11:20 a.m. during Winter Quarter 2025.

Additional course details can be found<https://sdb.admin.uw.edu/timeschd/uwnetid/sln.asp?QTRYR=WIN+2025&SLN=15223> in the time schedule. Each lecture is open to interested faculty, students, staff, alumni and members of the community as well as those students who are registered for the course.

Please contact Taylor Jolliffe via email at tjoll10 at uw.edu<mailto:tjoll10 at uw.edu> with questions or if you are a graduate student who wishes to enroll and needs an add code.
