Active Minds Leave of Absence Workshops.

In partnership with the Ruderman Family Foundation and the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation at Boston University, Active Minds explored what a leave of absence is, how it can benefit student mental health, and how to implement and assess a campus leave of absence policy for students, faculty, staff, and other advocates. One workshop was targeted to students; one to campus leaders, faculty and staff and the third was combined workshop where both students and administrators learned from each other. These workshops were held throughout October 2021.
