WERC Emotional & Mental Health Subcommittee

We are a team dedicated to supporting the JABSOM community by centralizing mental health and wellness resources into an accessible, user-friendly format for everyone.

Our goal is to promote mental health and psychological safety across the organization.  We empower our community to prioritize emotional well-being through advocacy, institutional change, and the following initiatives:

  • Cataloging and streamlining access to mental health services.
  • Promote events and campaigns to reduce stigma and encourage seeking help.
  • Developing institutional protocols to support emotional health.
  • Promoting a culture of mental health awareness.

Whether you want to join our subcommittee or share a resource, we want to hear from you!
