Creating a Mental Health Chair in your Fraternity
What the chair position duties and responsibilities include:
The chairperson for mental health of an organization should be a very open minded individual that is willing to at the very least be a set of ears for members to talk to if they need to. In addition to this, we believe that they should provide their members with resources to available options for mental health support and wellness.
What are ways that these duties and responsibilities can be included in pre-existing positions such as a Chapter Wellness position?
Chapters could make a mental health committee under a pre-existing position that would be responsible for making known the type of resources that are available to us as students.
Ideas of events or activities that this position could hold:
Incorporate a mental health check in during chapter meetings.
Send out any encouragement needed to the chapter.
Relay different mental health seminars, programs, opportunities, or groups to the chapter.
