Social support and interpersonal relationships are important for both mental and physical health. Despite impressions that today’s college students are hyper-engaged with the world around them, many are actually under-connected to the people and resources that could be most beneficial to their overall well-being. According to a recent study, college freshmen are spending less time with friends than ever. In addition, for students struggling with mental health concerns, their symptoms can make it difficult to start new relationships, or to get the most out of existing relationships – be it with peers, romantic partners, family members, professors, campus administrators, or clinicians.

Join us for the 14th Annual Depression on College Campuses Conference to learn about new research findings, model programs, and innovative strategies to encourage the formation of positive interpersonal relationships which promote student mental health.

The 2-day conference will feature a choice of intensive three-hour workshops in addition to keynote presentations, panel discussions, and concurrent sessions. Register at: http://www.depressioncenter.org/docc/
