Upcoming events
We provide information and awareness in the areas of mental health and psychological concerns. Sometimes this is within a partnership with other University departments and student groups; other times this is a program of our own. Please check out the following programs:
Cultivating Your Inner Garden
- March 28, 2023, 7:00 PM-8:30 PM, WVU Evansdale Greenhouse Room 103
Carruth Center for Counseling and Psychological Services are collaborating with the Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design as well as the student Horticulture Club to bring to life this workshop. Interacting and caring for plants helps individuals to improve their mental well-being, sense of engagement and meaningfulness. Participants will learn ways to use plants to improve their own mental well-being through a didactic presentation, discussion, and various activities around planting. Students will walk away with new information, pride in helping the horticulture club and a couple of cool plants. Hope you can join us. March 28th, 2023 from 7:00PM-8:30PM at the WVU Greenhouse. Please email Julie Kennedy-Rea for more information or to register.
