THE MENTAL HEALTH IMPLICATIONS OF PERFECTIONISM IN AMERICAN COLLEGE STUDENTS
Malaika Brown, PhD
May 23rd, 2023, 1:00:pm-2:00pm EST
Perfectionism has been identified by the American Psychological Association (APA) as a rising mental health issue over the past three (3) decades. According to APA researchers, “Increases in perfectionism have the potential to explain some of the increase in the prevalence of psychopathology. Perfectionism is a core vulnerability to a variety of disorders, symptoms, and syndromes” (Curran & Hill, 2019). Among American college students, there has been a dramatic increase in the prevalence of socially prescribed perfectionism between 1989 and 2016. Socially prescribed perfectionism has been closely linked to serious mental health disorders. As stakeholders in the college systems, it is necessary to be informed to identify symptoms, be an advocate and connect students to resources. References Curran, T., & Hill, A. P. (2019). Perfectionism is increasing over time: A meta-analysis of birth cohort differences from 1989 to 2016. Psychological bulletin, 145(4), 410. Hewitt, P. L., Flett, G. L., & Mikail, S. F. (2017). Perfectionism: A relational approach to conceptualization, assessment, and treatment. Guilford Publications.
Webinar Objectives:
- Identify the symptoms of perfectionism in college students
- Effectively summarize the correlation between perfectionism and mental issues in college students
- Apply knowledge to identify campus, city, county, state and national resources available to assist college students dealing with mental health issues due to perfectionism
REVITALIZING OUR EXHAUSTED BRAINS: A MENTAL BANDWIDTH
Tina Bhargava, DrPH
April 20th, 2023, 12:00pm-1:00pm EST
In the aftermath of the uncertainty and strain of the COVID-19 pandemic, the vast majority of us are functioning with greatly depleted mental bandwidth—a resource critical to effectiveness, creativity, and nuanced decision-making. In this presentation, Dr. Tina Bhargava will discuss how this cognitive scarcity can lead to feelings of disengagement and demoralization, as well as poorer outcomes, both personally and professionally. Dr. Bhargava will explain mental bandwidth and then share some simple principles and practices that can protect mental bandwidth in order to increase opportunities for innovation, success, and revitalization.
Webinar Objectives:
- Describe mental bandwidth, what impacts its availability, and how it can shape human behavior/choices
- Describe how mental bandwidth impacts productivity, satisfaction, and other important outcomes
- Describe strategies to protect mental bandwidth and increase desired outcomes

collegiate substance misuse, specifically related to alcohol,
cannabis, prescription drugs, and fentanyl. - Participants will be able to define the continuum of care, from

MOTIVATIONAL STRATEGIES TO ENGAGE STUDENTS VIOLATING THE CODE OF CONDUCT

Included in this presentation is a discussion of the value of integrating normative feedback, motivational interviewing, and harm reduction into programming for college students violating the code of conduct. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based, collaborative, person centered, guiding conversation style to strengthen a person’s own motivation to change.

November 8th, 2022, 12:00pm-1:00pm EST
The Ohio Program for Campus Safety and Mental Health invites you to join us for a panel presentation with Magda Gomez, Ed.D., Executive Director Diversity & Inclusion,

Hispanic enrollment at institutions of higher education is expected to exceed 4.1 million students nationwide by 2026*, yet the ability to access mental health services, low utilization and gaps in prevention and early intervention persists. With the anticipation that Latinx students are surpassing the growth rate of any other racial-ethnic group, it is ever more vital that the unmet needs and barriers for accessing services including outreach and educational strategies are incorporated into best practices and concepts to combat stigma amongst this community.
CAMPUS SAFETY: PREVENTION WITH A PURPOSE
Joseph A. Hendry Jr. PSP
October 12th, 2022, 12:00pm – 1:00pm EST
Campus safety takes the entire community. From leadership, law enforcement and security personnel to student affairs, counseling and the students themselves, it’s vital for everyone to understand how they can better identify concerning behaviors and prevent harm to self and others on their campuses. Through cross-functional collaboration, training, tools and technology, it is possible to create prevention processes and encourage participation in the detection of early warning signs. With rising mental health and public safety concerns top of mind for many this school year, this is not a webinar you’ll want to miss.
Webinar Objectives:
• Identify strategies and best practices for effective prevention through training, tools and technology.
• Learn why students are in the best position to report concerning behaviors and how campus stakeholders can encourage this action.
• Recognize why it requires compassion to report and respond to mental health crises.
