This conference presents a focused review of recent research and
practical advances in our understanding of depressive illnesses in young
adults. A Conference Committee, co-chaired by Dr. John F. Greden, Dr.
Todd Sevig, and Dr. Daniel Eisenberg, and including members from across
the University of Michigan campus, was instrumental in determining the
specific session topics and identifying appropriate speakers.
Learning Objectives
Depression among college students is an urgent public health problem.
If we are to prevent the progression, chronicity, recurrence, and burden
of depression, we must emphasize earlier detection, intervention, and
ultimately, prevention.
Participants in this Depression on College Campuses Conference will gain an improved understanding of best practices for risk assessment, prevention, and intervention methods to address depressive illnesses among college students; a greater understanding of the need for campuswide collaboration and integrated systems to support the mental health of all students; and knowledge of various strategies to better support the mental health needs of diverse student populations.
Audience
The conference is targeted to psychologists, physicians, nurses, allied health
professionals, counselors, university leaders, administrators, faculty, resident
advisors and other students, educational specialists, and parents.
