Promoting Emotional Well-Being Through Applied Support Skills for Veterinary Students

Building on key information and skills covered in “Foundations of Emotional Well-Being and Support Skills for Veterinary Students,” this microcredential will provide students with the opportunity to:

• Apply learned helping skills when interacting with peers

Students will meet every other week in small groups to discuss interactions and strategies for effectively applying learned helping skills. To successfully complete the microcredential and earn a digital badge, students must achieve a minimum attendance and participation of 85% of scheduled meetings/activities.
