Student-led Initiatives Toward Improving Graduate Student Mental Health

As physics students, many of us have seen or experienced mental health challenges. In this workshop, we discuss recent student-led efforts to address mental health within the physics department at the University of Maryland, College Park. We will first discuss our work developing and administering a survey to physics graduate students, and our implementation of mental health workshops. Finally, we will discuss how workshop participants might adapt tools and strategies to their home institutions.
