After a year of life amid the coronavirus pandemic, many Penn State students continue to feel alone and isolated.
Erika Saunders, a professor of psychiatry and chair of psychiatry and behavioral health, stressed the importance of a studentâs well-being and cited art as a way to help relieve stress.
Saunders obtained her undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan before going to the University of Iowa for medical school. She returned to Michigan to complete her psychiatry training with a specialty in mood disorders.
Since then, she started working for Penn State in 2008, making her way up to chair of psychiatry and behavioral health in 2015. During this time, she established various programs like the âMood Disorder Program.â
Erica Saunders credits her faith, her family, her friends and DBCC’s Young Survivors in Action with helping her through her breast cancer journey.
The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalitionâs Young Survivors in Action program helps younger women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer navigate their diagnosis, treatment, and post-treatment pathways.
These young survivors have access to networking, support, education, and activities that encourage them to continue to survive and thrive. Young Survivors in Action takes a holistic approach to the activities, support, and education provided and encourages each survivor to continue to learn and grow encouraging them to keep moving forward and live their lives to the fullest!
