Health sciences students face extreme levels of anxiety, stress, depression, and more, often affecting their performance in the classroom or their relationships both inside and outside of school. For all students, college life comes with new challenges, risks, and responsibilities which can increase the risk for mental health problems.

Whether you have a diagnosed condition or not, your mental health should not impact your right to an education. This panel brings together experts and scholars who will share their stories, tips for self-care, and resources for more assistance. You'll meet the following people:

• Janie Egan, MPH, CHES, Mental Well-Being Program Coordinator, Temple University Wellness Resource Center 
• Hannah Roach, Lewis Katz School of Medicine, Class of 2023
• Janet A. Castellini, MSS, LCSW., Personal Counseling Services for the Lewis Katz School of Medicine 
• Jen Rowe, MA, LPC, Student Services Coordinator, Disability Resources and Services
