Medical & Mental Health

Jennifer is a psychology major at Northwest University

She is working to engage the undergraduate student body through advertising and the establishment of the Let's Talk model (Cornell University), which provides free 25 minute consultations for students with Wellness Center counselors who will answer questions or provide necessary resources and support via telehealth, no appointment needed.

“I was inspired to participate by the opportunity to be more engaged with our undergraduate student population, and assist with outreach in efforts to provide easily accessible resources they enjoy.”

Thomas is studying Psychology and Communication Studies at Gonzaga, and is currently applying to doctoral programs (Ph.D. in Social Psychology) that incorporate the study of psychology and human communication.

Thomas is the COVID Stress & Trauma Education Program (CSTEP) Coordinator for Priority Spokane. He supports communication strategy, psychology research, and design strategies for CSTEP courses.

“I am also supporting CSTEP so that it can be used for larger community networks in the state of Washington.”

Hector is a post-bac student studying pre-med at Shoreline Community College, and hopes to use this fellowship to support mental health in indigenous communities throughout Washington.

“As a pre-med student it’s important to be aware of all aspects of human health. After working in an outpatient clinical setting for the past year, I would like to build on my understanding of mental health.”
