SUMMARY:Diversity Forum Fridays! Addressing the Mental Health Needs of
  Underrepresented Collegiate Students \, Climate & Diversity\, Rachel 
 Zizmann\, UW-Madison Physics
DESCRIPTION:On college campuses\, BIPOC\, first-generation and low-inc
 ome students are disproportionately underrepresented in seeking mental
  health services\, highlighting systemic disparities in access to supp
 ort. In this session\, the panelists plan to discuss the role of the C
 ommunity Support Specialists (CSS)\, who work exclusively with DDEEA s
 tudents. This position was created by the Counseling Psychology Traini
 ng Clinic (CPTC) in partnership with UW-Madison’s Mental Health Serv
 ices (MHS) to increase counseling access among underrepresented studen
 ts at UW-Madison using a social justice framework. The speakers will p
 resent an overview of the program’s history\, including data and tes
 timonials from past DDEEA students. During the session\, panelists wil
 l share their experiences in the CSS roles\, including their positiona
 lities as BIPOC graduate students responsible for supporting the menta
 l health needs of other underrepresented students. They will address q
 uestions about various interventions for supporting students\, such as
  individual therapy\, the role of outreach\, and creative methods for 
 disseminating interventions.
