New mental health and well-being initiative for parent-students

https://carleton.ca/health/parent-students/

Parent-students often juggle between studying, working, and parenting all at the same time. Finding the time to look after their own mental health needs can be challenging. In this pandemic era, parent-students are dealing with added difficulties with nurturing and protecting their children while trying to stay on track for their studies. They do not have to navigate these challenges alone.

These counselling sessions are offered by Bruno Jung-Millen, a parent and Master of Social Work (MSW) candidate, practicing under the supervision of a registered social worker. Parent-students can contact Bruno directly at bruno.jungmillen@carleton.ca or call HCS reception at (613) 520-6674 to book a counselling session. Sessions are offered on Mondays and Thursdays until the end of this current term. Please see the attached outreach flyer.

I would like to ask that you forward this information to students in your department or faculty. Thank you so much for your time and efforts in supporting this much needed mental health initiative.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
