Jan 15, 2021 | EDSCOOP Faculty at Niagara University in New York are receiving mental health first-aid training, the university said Friday, as part of the school’s efforts to address the needs of students, staff and faculty experiencing feelings of anxiety, isolation or depression as the pandemic keeps people learning and working remotely. “I feel that, as we get more and more members of our community trained in recognizing mental health problems and learning how to support someone on their path to getting help, it will also help erode the stigma of mental illness and increase peoples’ willingness to seek help,” Timothy Osberg, a Niagara psychology professor, said in a press release.
