Safe Zone Advanced Workshop - Understanding common mental health issues Trans College Students face
Tuesday, October 20, 2020 from 1:00pm – 2:00 pm Via Zoom
Register Here: https://kstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6sUhQJC2R2cVOtL
Synopsis: Transgender (trans) college students experience large mental health disparities in comparison to their peers. According to a 2019 study, trans students are two to four times more likely to experience mental health problems. The same study found that in a sample of 1200 gender-minority students, 78% met the criteria for at least one mental health problem (e.g. depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-harm, suicidal ideation). This presentation will discuss some of the reasons trans students are experiencing mental health issues, including a lack of access to resources, feelings of isolation, and concerns relating to safety. Additionally, there will be a discussion on K-State specific resources and how to support trans students.

Friday, October 23, 2020 from 1:00pm – 2:30pm Via Zoom
Synopsis: Wildcats Make a Pact (WMAP) is CARE's bystander intervention training that teaches participants how to safely intervene if they see behavior that could put others at risk for violence, victimization, or perpetration. Participants will learn the role of the bystander and the responsibility each one of us have in making campus safer, more equitable, and accessible. Through dialogue and case studies, participants will gain a deeper understanding in the various intervention techniques one can employ while ensuring their safety. This is CARE's most popular campus training, with hundreds of incoming fraternity men taking the bystander pledge each year.
