Breeana Barker: SUNY Potsdam Weekly Anxiety Support Group

For my project, I served as a knowledgeable and relatable resource to students who were curious about the role anxiety plays in their lives. Our weekly programs encouraged conversations about how anxiety presents itself. Finally, we educated students on components such as fear and panic to provide anxiety management tools. 

SUNY Potsdam encourages stigma-free conversations about mental health by listening to the needs and concerns of their students and implementing meaningful action. Being so involved in this project taught me how important it is to not only share my experiences but listen to the experiences of others. I observed the ways our campuses approach mental health and as a student leader, I want to strive for community. 

A digital badge is a new type of credential that allows you to show the specific skills you've gained through learning experiences. It's a clickable icon that can digitally display your work and accomplishments to key audiences, like future employers or graduate schools, when embedded on your digital resume, UB Portflio or LinkedIn.
