Beyond Coping: A Social Perspective on Graduate Student Mental Health

Monday, April 24, 5-7 pm

Register at: go.rutgers.edu/firesidechat

Description

Across disciplines, graduate school is a demanding experience that requires navigating both power relations and the complexities of research, career development, and graduate student life. Graduate students are also whole people, caring for children or family members, moving through graduate study as first-generation college students, and witnessing and responding to societal oppressions (i.e., racism, ableism, sexism). In this “fireside chat,” graduate students come together to reflect on graduate student mental health and explore strategies and analyses that move beyond coping to addressing the structural forces and power dynamics that inform graduate students’ experiences. Graduate student panelists and CAPS community-based counselor Shan Reeves will discuss mental health from a social perspective and explore how to identify and build solidarity circles with peers, mentors, and fellow graduate students; how to navigate difficult relationships with advisors; how to access Rutgers & community-based support services; and ultimately, how to move from an individualist, deficit-based perspective on mental health to one that accounts for the contexts and histories that shape graduate students' educational experiences.
