The unanticipated transition from face-to-face to online student services in response to COVID-19 presents a substantial challenge for most postsecondary institutions. Student affairs professionals must be intentional about ensuring that the needs of historically underrepresented and underserved students are adequately addressed, especially during this time of crisis. This webinar will focus on discussing equity-minded student services strategies and practices that can be employed by community college professionals in the online environment. The conversation will be facilitated by Drs. Luke Wood and Frank Harris III.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is a multidisciplinary, team-based model that provides intensive community-based and outreach-oriented services to people who experience the most severe and persistent mental illness. The vast majority also have a co-occurring substance use disorder and many experience comorbid medical illnesses as well as homelessness. This is a vulnerable population and their providers – ACT teams – are at elevated risk themselves during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Currently these meetings are held weekly on Mondays 3-4:30 pm Eastern.

For more information or questions, contact Maria Monroe-DeVita or Lorna Moser.
