NSU Clinics Teamed up for Optimizing Mental Wellness Event

The clinics housed within NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, the College of Psychology, and the Mailman Segal Center for Human Development joined forces for the Optimizing Mental Wellness event.
The May 2018 event, hosted in the atrium of the Carl DeSantis Building, offered information about the clinics in the Mailman Segal Center, plus the Psychology Services Center and the Brief Therapy Institute. Representatives from the clinics participated in a question and answer session, and a keynote speech by College of Psychology Professor Scott Poland, Ed.D., focused on supporting children in challenging times.
“We wanted to reach out into the community, support the community and show that NSU has clinics that they might need,” said Paula Boros, an Assistant Director in the Department of Recruitment and Admissions, which supports all three academic units.
Boros, who is also a doctoral candidate in CAHSS’ Department of Family Therapy, conceived of the event as a way to tie in with the national Mental Health Awareness Month in May. The nonprofit Mental Health America has observed it annually since 1949, when it was originally launched as Mental Health Week.
“We wanted to highlight the importance of mental health on a global scale, but also in our own communities and backyard,” Boros said.
