This week I connected with Muqing and Cathy to see if there’s opportunity to work together.
I am always interested in making the topics of mental health more accessible to a broader group of audience. I have launched several programs in the past on teaching students of love education, sex education, and death education. I looked into examples and initiatives, and envisioned the opportunity to scale up in terms of making such knowledge and conversation more accessible culturally and socially to college students.

I also reached out to NYU Mental health team to see if they have similar programs, and inquiry about where to start. They do not have specialized programs in death education, but they offer one on ones to address specific needs. They recommend me to chat with NYU Mindful.
