Join us for the University of Iowa's second annual Mental Health & Well-Being Pecha Kucha! Pecha Kucha is Japanese for chit-chat and emphasizes storytelling via imagery over words. This fun, interactive, and highly engaging workshop style elevates the voices of our campus “mental health and well-being innovators” to provide you:

  • New ways of thinking about your work from a mental health & well-being lens

  • Tangible take-aways about innovative mental health & well-being practices occurring on campus

  • Connections to share and receive what others are doing to advance campus mental health & well-being

The overall focus is body, mind, and spirit. Roundtable discussions will follow each Pecha Kucha to share what you heard and to share your takeaways. Join 1, 2, or all 3!

  • Caring for Others: 12–1 p.m.

  • Caring for Self: 1:30–2:30 p.m.

  • Caring for Community: 3–4 p.m.

Pecha Kuchas are free and open to all. Refreshments will be served. RSVP recommended.
