Who We Are:
In addition to creating opportunities for students from our various programs and departments to connect, we dedicate our time to supporting the health and well-being of the graduate and professional student population at the Pratt School of Engineering. We are all certified as mental health and suicide prevention instructors who teach others within our community how to identify, understand, and respond to individuals experiencing mental health or substance-use issues. Our goal is to help students thrive during their time at Duke, and we encourage students to connect with a member of our team if there is any support we can provide.
