Project 22 Movie Screening & Panel Discussion: An Evaluation Report for the Department of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at the University of Michigan-Flint

Abstract

This project consisted of an informational tabling session, a movie screening, and a panel discussion. The movie, Project 22, was viewed and then members of the UM- Flint campus community and the surrounding Flint area held a discussion panel to further explore the needs of student service members. The goal of the movie screening and discussion panel was to educate both students and community members about the mental health risks veterans face as well as educate the audience about available resources and services to address mental health issues both on and off campus. For example, those in attendance were given a variety of information on where to turn if they or someone they know is in need of mental health services. The Student Veterans Services Resource Center (SVRC) of UM Flint, the Center for Counseling, Accessibility, and Psychological Services (CAPS) at UM Flint, Michigan Veteran Centers, Give an Hour, and Angels with Paws- Mid Michigan Therapy Dogs were all present to provide information and answer questions about services and treatments available to veterans.
