My student helping my students!
Wristband Number: 128772
Dr. Shane McCarty, a former graduate student of Professor E.Scott Geller, the founder of the Actively Caring For People (AC4P) Movement, was my student well over a decade ago. And we just taught together for a month at his alma mater. Many positive outcomes have already developed from this collaboration, but perhaps one of the most concrete is the founding of a mental health organization at our school led by students for students to change school climate around mental health. The wristband came to me because of this collaboration and I am honored to wear it, as well as to pass one along to a colleague a new friend who is also doing mental health and mindfulness care practices with young people.
