[RIHESPAG] Potential RI Colleges Mental Health Summit, Call for Feedback

[Rhode Island Higher Education Suicide Prevention Advisory Group]

Hi Everyone,

We at the Department of Health were just made aware of a possible effort to hold a state-wide "Higher Education Mental Health Summit" in the near future. As the members of this group would be some of the primary targets of this type of summit, we were asked to solicit feedback on the type of topics that you would like to see addressed. Unfortunately, we are working on a short time frame so we are asking that you submit answers to the following questions no later than 12 PM this upcoming Friday (6/8/18) so we have enough time to aggregate and organize your feedback before presenting it to the government officials who first brought this opportunity to our attention at the beginning of next week.

Please feel to be as brief or as detailed as you like in answering the following questions:

  1.  What are the top 5 topics you would like to see discussed at a "RI Higher Education Mental Health Summit"? Please note that these do not have to be focused on suicide prevention but can span any area of the mental health field that you feel should be addressed at this potential event. Also, please feel free to be very honest and blunt in your answers, I will not identify any individual when presenting the aggregated response information so rest assured anything you submit will not be associated with your name and/or your institution.
  2.  Do you have any suggestions for speakers (nationally or locally based) who would be appropriate for this type of conference and/or are experts in the topics you proposed in your answer to question 1?

Thank you in advance for any feedback you are able to provide and  I apologize for the short time frame associated with this request. Please submit your answers directly to me via email (travis.vendetti at health.ri.gov<mailto:travis.vendetti at health.ri.gov> ) or simply reply directly to this email, but please make sure you don't accidently hit reply all.

Best Regards,

Travis
