Welcome back, everyone!
This month, we’re hosting our Mental Health Awareness Month 2021 Campaign for this month, and it’s going great so far. Keep scrolling to see what we’ve been up to!
Plannr Consulting’s vision is to eradicate stigma and promote mental health to students across the globe, and with the chapter program specialized for consultations in areas of lifestyle/mental health, subject, and college admissions consultations, we ask for chapter heads! This process could be started by filling out an application, which is provided in the link! The consultant’s bios will be posted on the website, and this can further establish the idea of who to contact when the client is looking for a specific topic or subject. Our consultations are 100% free and it is similar to peer mentoring, and it is designed to help students like you! Our consultants are required to take a course on mental health in school, and how they can make it efficient for the clients, they are trained and can assist you in any interesting area!
We have officially removed our country chapter system and are in the process of replacing it with a city-based chapter system! Interested? Sign up below!
Updates regarding Peer Mentor Program: new mentors have been recruited, undergone the certification process for peer mentorship, and been assigned clients to consult. In addition, we had a team meeting last week and plan on having regular team meetings for socialization and team bonding!
Hope you all enjoyed our first Plannr Community game night last month! We are excited to announce our second bonding night for the month of May! Join our Slack Channel to receive updates!
