Reach Out Retrievers
We are working on creating a series of student videos, featuring undergraduate and graduate students, to support Retriever Integrated Health's (RIH) Reach Out Retrievers initiative. Reach Out Retrievers is the first step (hopefully with many more steps to follow) in making a campus commitment to supporting and improving the mental health of our entire campus community. These pieces will be shared during the month of April on RIH and other campus partner social media pages. Additionally, these videos will be paired with information about online mental health tools that students can take advantage of right now.
There are two ways to participate:
- Send a video
- Send an audio recording
- How has your mental health changed since you started at UMBC?
- If needed, what did you do to handle those changes?
- What do you wish you would have done differently to support your mental health? OR What are you happy that you have done to support your mental health?
- What would you say to others with your same mental health experience?
Here are some things to consider:
- Videos and audio recordings should be between 30 and 60 seconds
- Students are welcome to use their phone to record (preferably with the front-facing camera)
- Students are welcome to share their name, graduation year, and major in the recording.
- If a student does not feel comfortable sharing this information, they do not have to include it in the recording
- The videos don't need to be very polished
If you know a student that would be willing to participate, please have them email Samantha Smith (samsmith@umbc.edu) to confirm participation. You are welcome to forward this message along to others.
Please upload your submission here.
