- Syllabus statements discussion
- Training: Kognito At-Risk Simulation Training, REACH training. How to get more faculty/staff trained?

Non-suicidal Self-injury and Suicidal Behaviors in Young Women: Identifying Vulnerability
(Room 240, Leads: Beauchaine, Bridge, Cheavens, Lyons, Slesnick)
- Rates of self-injury and suicide are increasing among women of all ages, but especially among young women, including those of college age
- Women in their late teens and early 20s who are diagnosed with ADHD and were maltreated as girls are at alarming risk.
- How can we use this new understanding to better serve Ohio State students?
- How can we partner with Disability Services to make this happen?
- Identify key take-aways
- Create brief report for the next session.
Peer-to-Peer Helping and Apps
(Room 102, Leads: Marble, Cash):
- Phone-based, Buckeye PAL overview
- App brainstorming: (i) Example: TalkCampus/TalkLife app, features/localization/co-creation; (ii) Other example OSU apps (co-created: one with Apple/Digital Flagship collaboration, OSU app for depression and anxiety for adolescents at Star House created by OSU students); and (iii) other ideas.

IT for OSU Mental Health Services
(Room 330, Leads: Sharma, Passino):
- IT for Facilitating Student Navigation of OSU Services: (i) Centralized approach: One e-location with links from appropriate places (helps make it a top Google search hit); (ii) Distributed approach: (a) Add to frequently visited e-services for students: Carmen, BuckeyeLink, OSU official app, etc. and statistics on visit rates on OSU sites would be useful for IT design; (b) Link to centralized resource site (perhaps using (i) above), user interface designed to facilitate interface to even a distressed student. Need to evaluate best-practices on user-interface (e.g., from exemplar universities, Apple); (iii) Combinations of above.
- IT to Support OSU Services: App/secure web site for coordination of OSU mental health services for a student that involves providers, and social support (friends, family)? HIPAA/privacy compliant. Build culture of care around client assisted by e-interfaces.
