The Importance of Making Connections

If there is one thing that we learned from this pandemic it is that we need to take care of our mental health in order to lead a fulfilling life. But how exactly can we do that? At the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee a professor decided to attempt to tackle this issue. He formed a group of administrators, faculty members and students to take a look at a human centered and trauma informed practice (www.chronicle.com).

Many students feel disconnected now more than ever. This disconnection can take a toll on a student's motivation for school. It is important to put together resources and programs to help students get acclimated to a new community in order to build a sense of belonging, which is crucial for a school's retention rate.


Throughout the pandemic people likely feel disconnected due to the social isolation we experienced. The first thing that people need to realize is that this is a common feeling to experience. With all the stressors in life it is important to schedule time each day to decompress. One thing I do is schedule time in my day to reflect on my work, this is scheduled as a meeting on my calendar so I am assured I have the time needed to decompress. This has really helped in my productivity and my mental stability.
