Professor Hippo-on-Campus Student Mental Health Education Program for Educators and Navigators

Professor Hippo-on-Campus

The Professor Hippo-on-Campus Student Mental Health Education Program for Educators and Navigators are offering virtual and in-person synchronous workshops for faculty, senior leaders, faculty chairs and directors and TMG staff, supported by the Office of the Provost and Vice-President (Academic) and the McMaster Okanagan Committee. The intent of the Professor Hippo-on-Campus program is not for you to become a counsellor or mental health “expert”, but to provide information which faculty and staff have requested and need to be informed, mental health-positive educators and navigators.

These workshops are facilitated by Dr. Catharine Munn (Advisor to the Provost and Vice-President, Special Projects, Mental Health; Associate Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences, FHS) and other members of the Professor Hippo Team.

These 3-hour workshops supplement the core program – 8 online asynchronous modules (total runtime: 3 hours) – modules which you need to complete prior to the workshop in order to benefit most and to apply and discuss what you’ve learned in the modules during the workshop. Sign up for the modules is on Mosaic under Regulatory training (search Professor Hippo to find), but be sure to complete the surveys first if you wish to become certified (see website for details).
