Overview
Details

Partnership Opportunity – Psychiatric Nursing Students working in small teams to identify and address gaps in community mental health support.


Does your organization connect with people struggling with mental health? Psych nursing students can help you research an issue, provide a resource, create an infographic or other useful tool to support your work.

Deliverables

How this works


  • In early December 2023, the professor short lists applicable projects that will meet course learning goals.
  • In early January 2024, student teams select a project and partners are informed of a match.
  • Community partners commit to come to class (virtually only) to promote your project and meet students.
  • Teams and partners meet (virtually only) as needed to build and understanding of the issue, refine project goals, and create action plans.
  • Teams present final project to partners in mid- April.


Your Commitment

Projects are tied to a student’s overall course mark and must be completed within a 2-month period and must be managed around varying student schedules. We ask our partners to ensure timely transfer of information and firm commitment to scheduled meetings to support project success.
