This month I had the pleasure of meeting with Vangie in the READY Room to discuss how I could be involved in developing the core mental wellness aspect of the space.
Vangie specifically spoke about the inspiration she drew from from the Barnard Well Women space, and we discussed the possibility of my visiting the space over winter break. From our conversation I've narrowed my focus for this month and January. One goals for these months that I've begun to work on include compiling a list of books and other resources for the book shelves in the wellness room to allow students to do some independent research on topics they have any questions about. Additionally I'll be helping to plan some programs for the later months in the semester. These programs will be led by Health Center staff and will be open to all student who wish to learn about the given topic. I'll be getting the input of NAMI@Emma for the subject of these programs. I'm also planning on going to Skidmore and Siena with the READY room creators to get some inpriartion for some work.
