Title: Mental Health: The Unspoken Pre-Health Requirement
Description: This event is an interactive talk given by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) on Campus at Hunter College. Following our mission of establishing a supportive community on campus and destigmatizing mental illness, we are going to talk about major issues a typical college student may be dealing with: depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. By discussing situations and stories that may sound way too familiar to students, particularly in Pre-Health field, we are hoping to communicate a better understanding of importance of one’s mental health, and increase one’s knowledge on things one can do to help themselves. We will be discussing these topics in the context of the environment a Pre-Health student would usually find themselves to be in, and will touch upon some specific examples such as starting school as a Pre-Health student; stigma in minority communities, as well as medical fields; self-medication; and others.

Title: Pre-Health Discussion Forum: Public Health; why is it important?
Description: Public health is the science of protecting and improving the health of people and their communities. This work is achieved by promoting healthy lifestyles, researching disease and injury prevention, and detecting, preventing and responding to infectious diseases.
Overall, public health is concerned with protecting the health of entire populations. These populations can be as small as a local neighborhood, or as big as an entire country or region of the world.
Public health professionals try to prevent problems from happening or recurring through implementing educational programs, recommending policies, administering services and conducting research—in contrast to clinical professionals like doctors and nurses, who focus primarily on treating individuals after they become sick or injured. Public health also works to limit health disparities. A large part of public health is promoting healthcare equity, quality, and accessibility.
Join us for a discussion on why public health practice is important and how it can influence a physicians clinical practice. Please read the attached article.
Title: Gatekeeper Training

The major goals of this training are the following;
· Increase competence and confidence in knowing when and how to: identify at-risk/struggling students, effectively engage them in discussion and refer them for additional support/help
· Increase knowledge of support resources available to all students at Hunter College including those who have identified students who are at-risk/struggling ( CWS, BRT, Public Safety), when it’s appropriate to reach out to each and how to do so
· Raise awareness of the valuable and unique position gatekeepers are in to connect students to needed help and support.
