We are excited to announce three Regional Gatherings again for this academic year. These gatherings provide an opportunity to learn about HCA, impact future priorities of HCA, and connect for meaningful conversation with a diverse group of partners in campus mental health.
What is the purpose of a Regional Gathering?
To increase understanding of who HCA is and what we do
To provide an opportunity for impact on the work of HCA and gauge resonance with the community of practice
To curate opportunities for a diverse group of partners to have meaningful conversation about student mental health
What participants said about last year’s Regional Gatherings:
“Came away with some good ideas. Need to plan on how to put them into action. ”
“…I really like these regional events, and I appreciate that you do at least one online. It helps us stay engaged even though we are quite remote.”
“… the gatherings, whether in-person or online, are always the most helpful as I get to hear more in-depth of what other campuses or individuals are working on.”
What will happen at a Regional Gathering?
All three Regional Gatherings will include the following activities:
Get To Know You Activity
Participate in a series of introductory activities to build relationships with other members of the Healthy Campus Alberta community.
Collaboration Activity
Learn how campuses have addressed student needs, share ongoing campus initiatives, and collaborate with others in a problem-solving workshop activity.
Share & Celebrate Activity
