    <div class="html-content"><span>Hello,</span><div><br><div>We are working on creating a series of student videos, featuring undergraduate and graduate students, to support Retriever Integrated Health's (RIH) Reach Out Retrievers initiative. Reach Out Retrievers is the first step (hopefully with many more steps to follow) in making a campus commitment to supporting and improving the mental health of our entire campus community. These pieces will be shared during the month of April on RIH and other campus partner social media pages. Additionally, these videos will  be paired with information about online mental health tools that students can take advantage of right now. </div><div><br></div><div><div>There are three ways to participate: </div><div><ul><li>Send a video </li><li>Send an audio recording</li><li>Provide a written submission</li></ul></div></div><div>In the submission, we would like for students to use the following questions to guide their thoughts:</div><div><ul><li>How has your mental health changed since you started at UMBC?</li><ul><li>If needed, what did you do to handle those changes?</li></ul><li>What do you wish you would have done differently to support your mental? OR What are you happy that you have done to support your mental health?</li><li>What would you say to others with your same mental health experience?</li></ul></div><div><strong>If submitting a video or audio recording, here are some things to consider:</strong></div><div><ul><li><u><strong>Videos and audio recordings should be between 30 and 60 seconds</strong></u></li><li>Students are welcome to use their phone to record  (preferably with the front-facing camera) </li><ul><li><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mQBWAoXf1rvVanZZ-whEUhGZNhfS05JqooGUivskDOY/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Here are more tips to help with creating a video on a phone</a></li></ul><li>Students are welcome to share their name, graduation year, and  major in the recording. </li><ul><li>If a student does not feel comfortable sharing this information, they do not have to include it in the recording</li></ul><li>The videos don't need to be very polished</li></ul><strong>If providing a written submission, please students can include their name, graduation year, and  major. </strong><br></div><div><ul><li>If a student does not feel comfortable sharing this information, they do not have to include it in the submission (the submission will be shared as quotes) </li></ul></div><div>If you know a student that would be willing to participate, please have them email Samantha Smith (<a href="mailto:samsmith@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">samsmith@umbc.edu</a>) to confirm participation.
