Warrior Wellness: Mental Health and Women in the U.S. Militarymilfamln
Women play a pivotal role in military operations, and their experiences and responses may differ from their male counterparts. This webinar looks at how mental health manifests differently for women, in particular women in the military.
Here are the 11 DSM-5 criteria for substance use disorder filled in with the blank (___) replaced with "alcohol":
1. Alcohol is often taken in larger amounts or over a longer period than was intended.
2. There is a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control alcohol use.
3. A great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to obtain alcohol, or recover from its effects.
4. Craving, or a strong desire or urge to use alcohol
5. Recurrent alcohol use resulting in a failure to fulfill major role obligations at work, school, or home.
6. Continued alcohol use despite having persistent or recurrent social or interpersonal problems caused
The document discusses building effective student mental health identification and response systems in schools, including improving early identification through universal screening, developing multi-source referral systems using multidisciplinary teams, and establishing information sharing agreements to monitor intervention access and effectiveness. Effective referral pathways clearly define roles and responsibilities, share information efficiently, and make intervention decisions collaboratively with the priority being student wellbeing. The presentation also provides an overview of the School Mental Health Referral Pathways toolkit for establishing comprehensive systems.
The OSU Harding Behavioral Health’s Stress, Trauma, and Resilience (STAR) Program and the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services will be hosting their third annual suicide prevention conference titled “Suicide and the Family” on May 13 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Ohio Union Performance Hall. The conference will feature Clark Flatt, President of The Jason Foundation, Inc. as a speaker and will also include presentations from physicians and clinicians focusing on how suicide affects families. The goal of the STAR Program is to improve lives through trauma-informed clinical services and educational programs focused on stress and resilience gained through cutting-edge research.
The demographics of the psychology field are changing significantly. Specifically, there is a growing gender imbalance as more psychology degrees are being earned by women. In 1975, nearly 70% of psychology PhDs went to men, but by 2008 that number had dropped below 30%. Similarly, women make up 76% of new psychology doctorates and 74% of new career psychologists. This shift can cause issues like a lack of diversity that could negatively impact clients. There are also concerns that fewer men in the field could mean not enough male therapists for predominantly male client populations. Racial diversity is also increasing in psychology over time.
Autism and Life Transitions: Hard Lessons Learned & Taught as a Person-Center...Cheryl Ryan Chan
In December of 2015, I presented this webinar to members of the National Association for Dual Diagnoses (thenadd.org). I've been conducting Person-Centered Plans for 4 years, and over that time I've seen a number of disturbing trends around the lack of understanding and planning for preparedness in transitioning students; in particular, in the areas of independent skill building specific to the anticipated environment, and personal safety skills. I feel it's important to talk about what I've observed and how my team of co-facilitators and I have identified and tackled these issues within the PCP process. I hope that the "lessons learned" will assist people in planning for IEP/ISP goals that can help maximize success. I offer it free to anyone who would like to attend.
The document discusses the growing acceptance and integration of mindfulness practices in treating military service members and veterans. It provides the following key points:
1) Mindfulness techniques like meditation and breathing exercises are increasingly being recommended for stress management and used in therapy with clients. The VA has funded studies on using mindfulness for PTSD.
2) Within the military, mindfulness has been incorporated into training programs to build resilience. The Army has a Master Resiliency Training program that teaches skills like tactical breathing.
3) The author advocates tapping into service members' existing familiarity with mindfulness-related concepts from their military experience. Reframing techniques like "tactical breathing" can help clients engage more readily.

The document discusses culturally congruent mental health services for Black youth. It outlines the benefits of such an approach, including greater safety, empowerment, and access to care for clients. Key stressors for Black youth are discussed, such as racial discrimination, economic barriers, and negative societal messages about identity. The author advocates understanding issues in a socioecological context and emphasizing youth strengths like racial socialization and resilience developed through coping with obstacles. Therapists should appreciate clients' lived experiences, model prosocial skills, and facilitate exploration of identity development and sociopolitical awareness.
Opportunities & Possibilities: Posttraumatic Growth in Research & Practice milfamln
In this presentation, Richard Tedeschi, Ph.D. will discuss the theoretical model and research basis of posttraumatic growth, the process by which trauma survivors often find valuable changes in how they live life in the aftermath of trauma. He will outline a framework for therapeutic interventions that facilitate posttraumatic growth through a way of relating called expert companionship. This approach to practice incorporates a broad view of what constitutes trauma, including many experiences that are not typically considered traumatic in our current diagnostic system, but which are traumatic to people because they challenge core beliefs about oneself, other people, the future, and the kind of world in which we live. The attention paid to possibilities for transformation of individuals and their relationships does not preclude working on typical symptoms of trauma, but recognizes that symptoms are better understood, tolerated, and reduced when traumatic suffering can have meaning and purpose.
This document summarizes a workshop held for first-year journalism students at Ryerson University to address increasing reports of interview anxiety among students. Instructors noticed more students struggling to complete reporting assignments due to a fear of contacting and interviewing strangers. In response, counselors from the school's student development center developed and presented a mandatory workshop on interview anxiety for the first-year reporting class. The workshop aimed to help students understand they are not alone in experiencing anxiety, teach coping strategies like breathing exercises and meditation, and normalize anxiety as a common feeling. A student participant noted she didn't realize how many thoughts occupied her mind and found focusing difficult, while the article advocates for journalists to be given skills to manage workplace pressures and stresses.
"The think it's helpful, but it's not": The problem of social support in adol...Emily Mattacola
Presentation from British Psychological Society's Division of Health Psychology Conference 2015.
Researchers agree that social support has long-term consequences for health. In adolescence, social support is known to be a key influence on healthy and unhealthy behaviours, including self-care in long-term conditions such as type 1 diabetes (T1DM). Recent findings suggest mortality in young females with T1DM is 9 times higher than the population rate, though the reasons for this remain unclear.
Social support was analysed using a mixed methods approach to deepen the understanding of the complexity of social support. Quantitative questionnaire measures of generic and diabetes-specific support and self-care were analysed and outlined, supported by findings from semi-structured interviews. Participants were aged 15-18, recruited from two paediatric outpatient clinics in the East Midlands.
Quantitative analysis revealed a significant correlation between generic social support and both self-care and HbA1c, but not in diabetes-specific support. When looking at those with optimal glycaemic control, significantly less diabetes-specific support was reported. In addition, thematic analysis revealed themes including nagging, normality and stigma as being influential in maintaining self-care.
The findings suggest that an increased social support is significantly related to increased self-reported self-care behaviours and glycaemic control, whilst diabetes-specific support is not. Conversely, the analysis suggests that those experiencing increased diabetes-specific support have poorer glycaemic control. Thematic analysis of qualitative interviews suggests that this may be related to feelings of nagging, in which illness-related support is seen as “hassling” with self-care seen as “nothing to do with them.” These findings have implications for the role of support in disease management.
This document discusses using social media as a therapeutic intervention and stigma reduction effort for emerging adults with mental illness. Emerging adulthood is a peak time for developing mental health issues but this age group is least likely to seek treatment, partly due to social stigma. The document reviews efforts to reduce stigma, like encouraging contact with people with mental illness and personal narratives. It suggests leveraging social media, as emerging adults use it for self-expression, and it can change social norms. Allowing therapeutic self-expression on social media may effectively reduce stigma and empower emerging adults with mental health issues.

This document explores how waiting for mental health services can negatively impact the social determinants of mental health for parents of children with behavioral disorders or autism. It finds that although public attitudes toward mental health have improved, these parents still feel stigmatized. Low mental health literacy leads to many conflicting views on the causes of conditions, making it difficult for parents to navigate advice. The waiting process also lacks clarity and signposting of support options. As a result, parents may withdraw socially and experience worsening of their own mental health. Improving mental health literacy and providing more holistic, family-focused care could help address these challenges.
This is a research poster for my organization M.I.N.D. (Mental Illnesses and Neurological Disorders). I presented this at a regional conference at Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) in April 2016.

This document discusses the importance of mental health education for college administrators, faculty, and staff. It notes that 1 in 4 Americans experience mental illness each year, with rates even higher for young people. College students face additional stressors that can exacerbate existing or develop new mental health issues. However, many colleges are unprepared to meet students' mental health needs due to a lack of awareness, training, and available resources among staff. The document advocates for reducing stigma through education and provides an example of mental health awareness and training programs implemented at one college.
1. Collective impact is a framework for tackling complex social problems by bringing together multiple organizations and sectors around a common agenda. It involves five conditions: a common agenda, shared measurement, mutually reinforcing activities, continuous communication, and a backbone support organization.
2. The document discusses how collective impact can help address complex health challenges in San Francisco by taking a collaborative rather than isolated approach. It provides examples of collective impact initiatives in the city focused on issues like traffic deaths, HIV, and preterm births.
3. Public health organizations in San Francisco are using techniques like results-based accountability and lean management to facilitate collective impact work and make progress toward population health goals.

Welcome to Careif’s 10th anniversary newsletter.
Careif is an international mental health charity that works towards protecting and promoting mental health and resilience, to eliminate inequalities and strengthen social justice. Our principles include working creatively with humili-ty and dignity, and with balanced partnerships in order to ensure all cultures and societies play their part in our mission of protecting and promoting mental health and well‐being. We do this by respecting the traditions of all world soci-eties, whilst believing traditions can evolve, for even greater benefit to individ-uals and society.
Careif believes that knowledge should not only be available to those with wealth or those who live in urban and industrialised parts of the world. It considers knowledge sharing to be a basic human right, where this knowledge can change lives and help realise true human potential. Further-more there is substantial knowledge to be found in the less developed, rural and poorer areas of the world and this is valuable to the wellbeing of people in areas which are wealthier.

The document discusses an interview between Mary Skinner and a 69-year old man named John who has a disability. John lost his leg 21 years ago due to diabetes complications and now uses a prosthetic. In the interview, John discusses how he has gotten used to stares from strangers about his disability. He enjoys educating children who ask him questions. John is also aware of his rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act, including provisions for public transportation and accommodations. The interview suggests that accessibility for the disabled has improved in the past 20 years due to laws like the ADA.

It aims to persuade the reader that high schools need to prioritize mental health education and support to create a positive environment where students feel comfortable seeking help.

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.

3. Executive Summary
1
Mental health is a topic that is receiving widespread attention on the national stage, especially on college
campuses. With the combined stresses of student debt, employment, and cost of living increases, students
are under significant pressure. This directly affects the wellbeing of student’s holistic health including their
mental health.
For the 2016-2017 Bateman Competition, the Washington State University team developed a promotional
campaign and day-long series of events under the theme “A Day to Lend a Hand,” based on the
well-established messages for the Campaign to Change Direction. The day included three main components:
an information tent event, a guest speaker, and mental health training. The purpose of the information tent
was to bring together multiple groups on campus to establish a dialogue about mental health issues and
increase awareness of the Five Signs. Our guest speaker combined the key messages about the Five Signs
with her personal experiences as a disabled student to present a powerful message about changing the stigma
of mental health. The overall goal was to engage diverse student groups as well as administrative offices on
campus who are dedicated to mental health awareness and services to establish a common ground to begin a
dialog about mental health.
The team staffed a information table in our student union building, utilized social media, and promoted the
cause through community outreach. Our event consisted of a full day with our tent display and program that
night about mental wellness and the five signs. Our tent was on the Terrell Mall, which is at the center of our
university campus. The tent included messaging, displays, and representatives from five student groups and
administrative offices. We connected to students and staff around a common cause, sharing mental health
resources on campus.
Our evening program featured Allie Pennington, a WSU alumni who is blind and has a history dealing with
depression and mental suffering. Through stories of her experiences as a student and person with a disability,
she conveyed the importance of the Five Signs and how her life would be different had her loved ones been
aware of her symptoms.
The next day we concluded our event with a suicide awareness training, led by a professional from our Health
and Wellness service department. We measured our success for our event primarily based off of attendance.
We also had a large sign where people of the community would trace their hands in acknowledgement of the
five signs and pledge to apply them to their lives. This banner holds over 200 signatures and is a show of
success for our event and ability to reach students and staff in the community to spread the word of the
Campaign and how we can change the stigma by focusing on our mental well being just as much as our
physical well being by pledging to know and apply the five signs of mental suffering.

Research
Situational Analysis
The Campaign to Change Direction is an initiative to change the culture surrounding mental health in Amer-
ica. This nationwide campaign encourages people to be honest about their mental health in order to get the
help they may need. At WSU, there are many efforts on campus that share similar missions to that of the Cam-
paign to Change Direction. These groups however, are all separate and they target a small demographic on
campus. In the fall semester at WSU there was a mental health awareness week that focused on destigmatizing
mental health. Clearly, there is a need for dialogue about mental health on campus and we were very lucky to
have that foundation within the community.
We were able to gain a better understanding of our situation at WSU by reading the Health and Wellness
services website According to the 2016 National College Health Assessment, out of 3,168 WSU students of
different backgrounds:
We wanted to continue to open up a dialogue for the WSU students because the need seemed to grow stronger.
In late November, three WSU students died of drug overdoses and the Greek system canceled all social
gatherings for the rest of the semester due to the increased amount of deaths. With the recent events, there has
been a push from the university and the community to start talking about mental health on campus.
• We found 11 resources not directly affiliated with the University that provided valuable resources for stu-
dents: ACHA-National College Health Assessment, the JED Foundation Campus Program, 2015 Suicide
Prevention Grant, Suicide Prevention Hotline, Veterans Crisis Line, Suicide Prevention Resource Center,

• Health and Wellness has a Mental Health sector that was used as a resource
• Currently 304 veterans on WSU Pullman campus
• In a recent survey of 137 students, when asked how frequently mental health is discussed on the WSU
Pullman campus, 64 of them reported “rarely” or “never.”
• The WSU Greek Community makes up almost 4,000 students (based off of a report from 2015) that we

Research
We learned that we needed to identify the sources and messages current WSU students were using to learn
about mental health issues and the services available, as well as the most effective means to reach them. While
we targeted underrepresented groups like veterans, we opened up our event to the greater WSU student
community in order to reach as many people as possible with our campaign.
Primary Research
To gain a better understanding of the perception of mental health on the WSU campus we conducted several
in-depth interviews as well as surveys and pre-test post-test campaign surveys with WSU students and staff to
analyze how we should cater to the need of the community with our event.
Stakeholder Interviews
We conducted initial interviews to gain an understanding of what programs were already in place on campus
and what current student groups were doing to help those in need.
We first interviewed Sara Stout, who is the Director of Student Services for Murrow College and the
administrative leader for the local chapter of “To Write Love On Her Arms.” We learned that there is a stigma
surrounding mental health. Students see it as a sign of weakness and don’t want to talk about it or share their
experiences with others. “Students think they are alone in feeling their issues with mental health and so they
don’t share it with others...amongst their peers so it remains quiet and increases problems,” said Stout
“Students think they are alone in feeling their issues with mental health and so they
don’t share it with others...amongst their peers so it remains quiet and increases
problems.”
We then met with Blaine Golden, the Veterans Coordinator, and Mike Solomon, Vet Corp Navigator, who
together manage the Office of Veterans Affairs at WSU. After meeting with these contacts we learned that
military veterans face similar stereotypes as the general student population. According to Golden and Solo-
mon, many veterans see mental health as a sign of strength or weakness and often times mental health is not
addressed or when it is there is a negative stigma.“When you are in the military, mental health
problems are seen as a weakness and can actually prevent job promotion. You are expected to
keep it inside and treat it like a stubbed toe,” said Solomon.
Our final interview was with Victoria Braun, the Health Promotion Specialist and Suicide Prevention Coor-
dinator for the Division of Student Affairs Health and Wellness Services on the WSU campus. She reaffirmed
our understanding that on campus students are somewhat reluctant to talk about mental health and speak out
about the issue. We learned that Health and Wellness offers counseling services by appointment as well as
mental health workshops. “We want people to be able to self identify and make sure we are providing
good resources...looking upstream not just at the students who are suicidal, but the process it took
to get there,” said Braun.

Audiences & Key Messages
Primary Audiences
Underrepresented Student Groups
Based on recommendations from two of our main stakeholders, Blaine Golden and Victoria Braun, we
determined that our target audience would be what they referred to as “underrepresented students on
campus.” These include ROTC students, minorities, student veterans, international students, and graduate
students. Our stakeholders identified these groups as vulnerable to mental illness and had made efforts in the
past to reach out and share resources about mental health. Since our stakeholders identified a need to target
these groups specifically, because the are seen as being underserved relative to other groups on campus.
The campus organizations we identified who are currently engaged with these underrepresented groups are:
Health and Wellness Services, To Write Love on Her Arms, Mujeres Unidas, and the Student Veterans
Committee.
Greek Students
Additionally, we invited students from the Greek committee to participate in our campaign. One reason for
this was some students in our greek community have dealt with issues related to mental health, including
sexual assault, substance abuse, and suicide. Because of the prevalence of those issues, the Interfraternity
Council and Panhellenic council imposed a moratorium on social events in the community for a good portion
of fall semester. One effect of the moratorium was that the leaders of the greek community were actively
involved in changing the culture of the greek community on campus, and Health and Wellness Services
(our main partner) were reaching out to aid their efforts by educating the students on topics related to mental
health. The campus organizations we identified who represent the Greek systems are Interfraternity Life and
Panhellenic Council.
Secondary Audiences
WSU Undergraduate Students
To promote the idea that mental health affects everyone, we decided that all other WSU students would be our
secondary audience.
The decision to target WSU students and not people in the Pullman Community was because of
accessibility. Every team member is actively involved in other groups on campus, so we were able to
effectively reach them, whereas our campaign would have not have been as effective trying to reach
multiple age demographics.
Imagery
Because the hand was already a strong image, we knew we wanted to use a hand in our messaging, but with
our own creative twist. We thought the hand could incorporate the five signs if we put the five signs in
the hand. What we ended with was a typographic hand with the words of the five signs repeated in
it, and each finger was a sign.
-You are not alone in dealing with mental illness. -Through education we can eliminate
-There are resources to help you cope with your suffering . the stigma surrounding mental health.
-The five signs of emotional suffering are vital to recognizing -We all have a hand in developing
potential mental illness in yourself, loved ones, and colleagues . resilience.
Key Messages
7. 5
Challenges and Opportunities
Challenge: Stigma: The Campaign to Change Direction wants people to open up and talk about their
mental health. This is a challenge because of the stigma surrounding mental health because it has been
deemed socially inappropriate for so long. It is a hard thing for people to admit that they have a problem
because they think that no one is in the same situation.
Opportunity: Educate: Educating people on the five signs will allow friends and peers of people struggling
with emotional pain to identify these signs. This will give them the ability to talk through their hard time or
suggest seeking professional help.
Challenge: Efforts going on: The topic of mental health is a topic of interest for many people, but it can
be a difficult one to discuss. There were many efforts going on at WSU including a mental health awareness
week where some of our stakeholders, To Write Love on Her Arms and Health and Wellness,
participated. The Veterans Center was also looking to host a guest speaker this semester.
Opportunity: Combine and partner: Instead of creating another message that people would hear on
campus and potentially ignore, we decided to combine these efforts into one big effort. We saw the
opportunity to bring together underrepresented groups such as the Student Veterans Committee, To Write
Love on Her Arms, etc. By including large groups such as the greek community, we made this topic of mental
health a campus wide campaign that united all of the groups and was different than last semester’s event.
Challenge: Need for dialogue: The WSU campus was in need of a place to open up the
conversation about mental health, while feeling safe and included. Many of the services on campus that
students seek out have waiting period that could last for weeks. While our services on campus are very
helpful and professional, they are over capacity.
Opportunity: Create a space: The WSU Bateman team saw an opportunity to create that space for the
students. We were also compelled to open up this discussion because our professional advisor is a part of
WSU’s SAMHSA grant.
Objectives
Raise Awareness
There are multiple organizations and groups on campus dedicated to serving students with mental health
needs. The survey results showed that none of our participants were familiar with the Campaign. We realized
that the initial objective of our campaign is to raise awareness of the Campaign to Change Direction and the
Five Signs.
Educate on the Five Signs
The Five Signs are a distinguishing part of the Campaign and is what makes it memorable for students. We
wanted to educate the WSU community on the signs so that in the future they would be able to recognize
them in a family member or friend. We wanted as many people as we could to recognize the hand when they
saw it around campus.
Inspire Conversation and Participation
Through our event, “A Day to Lend a Hand”, our objective was to start a conversation with students. We
wanted to talk freely about the widespread problem that is emotional suffering and provide the resources
necessary to deal with the illness. By sharing the other groups on campus that provide information, counsel-
ing, and support we were able to get students talking about the Campaign and engaged in learning the Five
Signs.
Encourage Commitment
Ultimately, at the end of our tent event and speaker presentation we wanted students to pledge to know
the Five Signs. They did so by tracing their hand on our banner, a visual pledge.

pass out literature explaining our event and encouraging students to participate.
Objective: Educate at least 200 students about mental health issue and resources
Rationale: To include the WSU student community in our mission, the WSU Bateman team needed to
educate students on the Campaign itself and what it meant to know and pledge to the Five Signs.

of the Campaign to connect to students. (Speaker presented for an hour)
• Tactic 2: Host a discussion after the talk where students can ask questions and gain more insight into
emotional suffering and how to seek help. (Discussion continued for 30 minutes after the presentation)
Objective: Secure over 200 student pledges to learn and share the Five Signs.
Rationale: After learning the Five Signs students pledge to recognize the signs in their daily lives and reach
out to those who show them.
Strategy 1: Pledge to know the signs and incorporate them into their lives.
Tactic 1: Trace their hands on the banner to physically pledge to know the signs.

Tactic 2: Award a certification after the training to acknowledge their new skills and ability to recognize
someone in distress.
Tactic 3: Promote the importance of “giving an hour” and encourage students to work with other
groups after our “Day to Lend a Hand.”

Evaluations and Outcomes
Evaluation & Outcomes
• 41 people said they attended our event via Facebook and six were interested.
• We handed out over 50 flyers during our tabling promotion.
• Over 150 people came to our event. They signed the banner and learned more about the Campaign and
the Five Signs. This surpassed our hope for engagement, especially because it was snowing the whole
time.
• Over 200 people attended our speaker presentation. This exceeded our expectations for event
attendance.
• After our “Day to Lend a Hand” there were over 200 hands traced on our banner pledging to know the
Five Signs. Again, this surpassed our hope for physical engagement with our event.
• 25 people signed up for the suicide prevention training , which was the maximum enrollment . This
• exceeded our attendance goal.
We exceeded all of participation/ attendance goals in all of our events and our banner was more filled with
hands than we could have hoped for.
After Allie’s presentation we passed out a short questionnaire to attendees. Our responses showed that the
Campaign was not widely known prior to our campaign. Not only did our “Day to Lend a Hand”
promote education of the Five Signs but most students felt more confidant in knowing they could recognize
them in others.
We used our poster as a way to measure engagement and determine success from our event. At the tent it was
snowing and many students did not want to be outside. However, a large majority of students took a minute
to get cake or coffee and ended up tracing their hand and pledging to know the five signs of mental suffering.
This helped add up to the 200+ hands we have on our banner.
Our suicide prevention training was another measure of success. The workshop was filled in a few hours
which tells us that our messaging was effective and people were interested in learning more about mental
health and ways to identify signs and help those in need. “People really responded to this event and to
Allie especially. [A Day to Lend a Hand] was all about planting a seed, and the message will grow.
It was a great venue for people from different groups to say messages in unison,” said Victoria
Braun.
Conclusion
Despite a few setbacks, such as heavy snow during the tent event, “a Day to Lend a Hand” was successful.
We counteracted the cold environment with coffee, heaters, and hand warmers, which people responded well
to. The success of the tent was due to the intimate and upbeat setting. While this is only three percent of the
student body on the Pullman campus, we know that our message resonated with people.
Our post survey revealed that people were receptive to the event and able to recall the Five Signs. In the talk,
people were also actively engaged and asking questions. This proved to us that despite the small scope of our
campaign, the message was interesting to people. Our fully attended suicide training the next day was another
positive measure for our event because it showed people were eager to learn more

Conclusion
100People visited our tent
The “Day to Lend a Hand” established a dialogue and purposeful connections with mental health
organizations and resources on campus through their shared participation in the the Campaign. Our tent
event, evening program, and suicide awareness training reached hundreds of students who may not have even
known about the Campaign to begin with.
While attendance and engagement were significant and measurable indications of our success, one of the
most rewarding aspects of our campaign was talking to those who have been or know people affected by
mental illness. On multiple occasions were we approached by members of the WSU community, thanking us
for bringing this topic to light and recognizing from a personal perspective how important knowing those five
signs are.
Allie was an amazing speaker and her message really resonated with those in attendance. The retelling of her
personal struggle was powerful, but she kept it positive by sharing her journey and how far she has come.
The five signs of the Campaign and importance of emotional as well as physical health were weaved into her
conversation, as she shared the vitality of recognizing those signs and ability to use them to save a life.
Our Campaign had a significant reach across our campus with students and faculty. We were able to not only
share the objectives and purpose of the Campaign to Change Direction, but used it as a channel to bring
together multiple groups on campus. By sharing the resources readily available to those at WSU, we are able
to make an impactful difference in those suffering, or have friends who are suffering, in finding the help that
they need.
Through months of planning, coordinating, and a successful execution, our team was able to put together an
event to bring awareness to a sensitive topic across an entire campus. We are proud of being able to unite
different campus resources around our cause and get them talking about the Campaign as well as what they
offer to the student body. We look forward to seeing how our event has impacts the WSU community and how
our resources on campus will hopefully be utilized in conjunction with the five signs in order to benefit those
in emotional distress.
