State of Wellbeing, a podcast from South Dakota State University

Community Building

What does community mean to you? How do you build community among small groups? How do you look for community in groups? Join Toby Uecker, Dean of Students, and Paige Cain, Program Coordinator in the American Indian Student Center, to explore these questions. 

Resiliency

Resiliency. Grit. Persistence. We all know these terms, but what do they really mean for our mental and physical wellbeing? In this two part episode, Senior Associate Athletic Director Holly Van Vlymen and Jackrabbit student athletes Clay Carlson and Akeela Jefferson discuss the importance of resiliency and how to build it.

Depression and Suicide Warning Signs

In this episode, Jeremy Daniel, faculty member in pharmacy practice, and Ashley Day, counselor for Student Health Clinic & Counseling Services, discuss the topic of depression - what it is and what it isn't. Listeners will also learn about suicide warning signs as well as ways to learn more about suicide prevention such as Lost and Found and Question-Persuade-Respond (QPR) training.

The Stepped Care Model

Counseling Services staff will discuss the new stepped care model at the SDSU Student Health Clinic and Counseling Services, including the components of the model, the strengths of the stepped care approach, and what students can expect when they meet with a counselor for mental health services.
