LAUNCH INVITATION: Monash Mental Health Champions!

Monash University is delighted to bring about Monash Mental Health Champions - a unique leadership opportunity for students to promote mental health at the University. Commencing soon, this initiative will harness the passion, skills, and energy of students from across campuses, to enhance the mental health and well-being of our student community.
​

Tuesday 6 October, 4.30 - 6pm  Building H, Lecture Theatre H2.35

Monash University, Caulfield campus

The program will have an Official Launch during Mental Health Week (Oct 6th - 4:30 to 6PM - Caulfield Campus) with a panel centered on 'Universities - changing the story of youth mental health,' featuring the following speakers - 

· Professor Ben Canny - President of the Academic Board and Associate Dean (MBBS International)

· Jessica Dean - Current MBBS / LLB Student; former President, Australian Medical Students Association, and Board Director at BeyondBlue.

· Lloyd England - Manager, Student Experience & Teaching Associate, Faculty of Law

· Jonathan Brown - Associate Deputy Director (Residential Support), Monash Residential Services

· The panel will be moderated by Andrew Marks - Manager of Counselling and Mental Health Programs, and officiated by Vladimir Pripch - Executive Director of the Campus Community Division. 

We hope that this launch will set the scene for an important new frontier in the way the University seeks to support its students, and most pertinently, in the way we meaningfully engage students in this pursuit. Applications are now open for the initiative - so feel free to circulate this link to students!
