The session aims to showcase a diverse range of approaches, providing a comprehensive view of effective mental health strategies, which can include (but not limited to) workshops, podcasts, regular coffee hours, conferences, departmental retreats, and more! Attendees can expect to gain practical knowledge, innovative ideas, and actionable insights that they can leverage in their own institutions.</p><p style="margin:0px;padding:10px 0px 0px;box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(111, 114, 135);font-size:16px;line-height:1.5rem">We invite interested attendees to submit 1,500-character abstracts about their exciting initiatives during the registration process, outlining the details of their initiatives, how they were conducted, and any feedback received. Accepted presenters will then be requested to prepare a single slide (i.e., poster) visualizing their initiatives, which will be posted on our website prior to the event. The committee will organize presenters into themes prior to the session. Within the session, each theme will have a designated Zoom breakout room, where presenters will briefly discuss their initiatives using their non-animated single slides (up to 3 minutes), followed by an open Q&A session with attendees. Attendees will have the flexibility to rotate across breakout rooms as they desire.</p><p style="margin:0px;padding:10px 0px 0px;box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(111, 114, 135);font-size:16px;line-height:1.5rem">Submit a poster <a href="https://forms.gle/RnkLwXgmAjuiFQ4e6" target="_blank"><u>here</u></a> by Monday, March 25th, 2024 at 11:59 PM EDT.</p></div></div><div style="margin:24px 0px;padding:0px;text-rendering:optimizelegibility;font-size:14px;line-height:1.25rem;font-weight:400;box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(57, 54, 79);font-family:&quot;Neue Plak&quot;, -apple-system, &quot;system-ui&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;text-align:left;box-sizing:border-box"><h4>Panel Discussions</h4></div></div><div style="margin:24px 0px;padding:0px;text-rendering:optimizelegibility;font-size:14px;line-height:1.25rem;font-weight:400;box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(57, 54, 79);font-family:&quot;Neue Plak&quot;, -apple-system, &quot;system-ui&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;text-align:left;box-sizing:border-box"><p style="margin:0px;padding:0px;box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(111, 114, 135);font-size:16px;line-height:1.5rem">These 90-minute sessions will feature a moderator and up to three panelists to share their experiences in academia and mental health.

The session aims to showcase a diverse range of approaches, providing a comprehensive view of effective mental health strategies, which can include (but not limited to) workshops, podcasts, regular coffee hours, conferences, departmental retreats, and more! Attendees can expect to gain practical knowledge, innovative ideas, and actionable insights that they can leverage in their own institutions.</p><p style="margin:0px;padding:10px 0px 0px;box-sizing:border-box;line-height:1.5rem">We invite interested attendees to submit 1,500-character abstracts about their exciting initiatives during the registration process, outlining the details of their initiatives, how they were conducted, and any feedback received. Accepted presenters will then be requested to prepare a single slide (i.e., poster) visualizing their initiatives, which will be posted on our website prior to the event. The committee will organize presenters into themes prior to the session. Within the session, each theme will have a designated Zoom breakout room, where presenters will briefly discuss their initiatives using their non-animated single slides (up to 3 minutes), followed by an open Q&amp;A session with attendees. Attendees will have the flexibility to rotate across breakout rooms as they desire.</p><p style="margin:0px;padding:10px 0px 0px;box-sizing:border-box;line-height:1.5rem">Submit a poster <a href="https://forms.gle/RnkLwXgmAjuiFQ4e6" target="_blank"><u>here</u></a> by Monday, March 25th, 2024 at 11:59 PM EDT.</p></div></div><div><div><p style="font-weight:bold">Panel Discussions</p></div></div><div><div><p style="margin:0px;padding:0px;box-sizing:border-box;line-height:1.5rem">These 90-minute sessions will feature a moderator and up to three panelists to share their experiences in academia and mental health.
