Evidence of a mental health crisis is everywhere — from the recent surgeon general advisory about social media’s effects on our youth to the pandemic’s documented impact on medical professionals. To whom does a college student turn for help so far from home? And who cares for the mental health of those caring for us?
Enter Dr. Jessi Gold, a psychiatrist and the University of Tennessee’s first chief wellness officer, who aims to change the way student mental health is addressed on campus. She favors an open, flexible approach to helping students find the kind of help that’s right for them. Off campus, Dr. Gold has been conducting research into the overlooked mental health needs of our medical professionals.
On this episode of The Dose podcast, host Joel Bervell talks with Dr. Gold about the systemic changes needed to support mental wellness across our college campuses and the entire ecosystem of medical professionals.
