Dr. Steve Robinson, President of Lansing Community College, returns for part two of a discussion on mental health. In this episode, Dr. Robinson speaks less about his own journey in mental health, and more about what he has learned as a leader serving in higher education as a professor, provost, and president. He spent 15 years as a writing professor and learned firsthand the struggles that his students experienced as they voiced the various and ongoing traumas they were experiencing.
Dr. Robinson and Jim talk about how professors can best support students who are experiencing mental health challenges. Both draw on their experience as educators, citing both data and anecdotes, regarding the pivotal role educators can play in helping students persevere through life challenges. Further, Dr. Robinson talks about the awesome responsibility of daily considering how best to support not only students, but the college staff, and even the members and organizations found throughout Lansing and mid-Michigan.
