During the week of Jan. 18, students at the University of Nebraska Medical Center are encouraged to relax, take a break from studying and learn how to cope with stress during UNMC’s annual Mind Your Mind: Mental Health Awareness Week. <\/p>\n

The UNMC Psychiatry Student Interest Group (PsIG) coordinates and sponsors the annual interprofessional weeklong event aimed at improving student mental health. <\/p>\n

“Wellness among medical students is a hot topic right now,” said PSiG President Ismatt Niazi, a fourth-year psychiatry student. “Historically, it’s been brushed off to the periphery, but it’s taking a more central role.” <\/p>\n

This year’s PsIG week precedes a campuswide symposium focused on stress and emotional well-being. The Jan. 26-27 event features four national speakers from: Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital; American Dental Education Association; Mayo Clinic; and the Department of Education, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
\nPresentations will be live streamed and also archived to allow for later viewing. <\/p>\n

This year’s Mind Your Mind student activities include: <\/p>\n

\u2022Tuesday, Jan. 19 – A lunch presentation on mindful meditation by Steven Wengel, M.D., chair of the department of psychiatry. <\/p>\n

\u2022Wednesday, Jan. 20 – 10-minute massages are available between noon and 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u2022Wednesday, Jan. 20 – Student movie night. Students from all UNMC colleges are invited to watch Pixar’s “Inside Out,” followed by a discussion of the psychiatric aspects of the film. <\/p>\n

\u2022Thursday, Jan. 21 – Elisabeth Sunderneier, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist at UNMC, will give a noon presentation on biofeedback. David Carver, Ph.D., director of Counseling & Student Development, also will share information\/resources on student services. <\/p>\n

\u2022Friday, Jan. 22 – Massages and pet therapy – 10-minute massages return for students between noon and 2 p.m. At 11 a.m., pet therapy dogs will stop by the Sorrell Commons Area, second floor.
\nRaising awareness of mental health issues and taking time to invest in one’s self is important, Niazi said. <\/p>\n

“When you’re in an intensive academic program, you need to remember to spend time on yourself because it helps with your retention, your well-being and your ability to study again tomorrow,” he said. <\/p>\n

The PsIG is an active, medical student-run organization that works to promote psychiatry and mental health through a variety of different educational activities, mentorship and outreach. <\/p>\n

We are Nebraska Medicine and UNMC. Our mission is to lead the world in transforming lives to create a healthy future for all individuals and communities through premier educational programs, innovative research and extraordinary patient care.<\/p>\n
