Episode 56: Scared of School with Baylor CARE Team Director Meghan Becker, Part One

It can't be easy to go to school nowadays. Just take it from Meghan Becker - she's the Director of Student Care and Well-Being at Baylor University where she heads up the Care Team, Baylor's unique departmental solution to providing mental health resources to over 20,000 college students across it's in-person and virtual campuses. To hear Meghan tell it, Baylor's students struggle with anxiety, depression, loneliness, excessive substance abuse, and more - and that's all before you start to introduce America's current political climate and the national outbreak of violence in schools across the country. In Part 1 of their conversation, Rick sits down with Meghan to get to the bottom of how Baylor's Care Team originated in the wake of Virginia Tech's 2007 on-campus shooting tragedy, and how their small team is working around the clock to serve student needs in an ever-changing online environment.
