😷In the decades leading up to the COVID pandemic, there was growing awareness of adolescent mental health struggles around the globe. The number of students seeking mental health treatment increased and the number of resources offered in high schools and college increased to meet the demand. Depression and suicide rates spiked following the pandemic, but colleges and universities have responded with more treatment options rather than preventive, holistic approaches to positive well-being. What if we identified and changed the dynamics of schooling at all levels? What if the purpose of education was wellness and humanity rather than working, acquiring wealth, and competing for limited resources?

This interactive workshop provides an opportunity to audit ourselves and determine the extent to which NCCU generally and ICI specifically adheres to principles outlined in the Okanagan Charter, founded in 2015. Over 300 universities have adopted the principles of the charter.

📢In preparation for engagement in the workshop, please review the charter and bring some examples of assignments, readings, activities that promote wellness and identify areas for improvement in your classes, ICI, and the university.
