But Tennessee did not have anything like that when I took the job here in July. This will give us an opportunity for socializing, networking and also some continuing education,\u201d said Rickard, who came to UTC after previous stops at Guilford College in North Carolina and the University of North Carolina Greensboro.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after arriving on campus and realizing a statewide list didn\u2019t exist, Rickard went to the internet. He tracked down counseling center directors of every public and private institution in Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just thought it\u2019d be an important way for us to communicate amongst directors about several Tennessee-specific mental health guidelines, state-specific legislation and mental health best practices and trends that we\u2019re seeing,\u201d he explained. \u201cSo I thought, \u2018Great. I\u2019ll plan it this year.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of people just want to connect and build those networks, so I think this conference will be an invaluable resource.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Conference participants will hear diversity panelists discuss the mental health concerns of students from marginalized backgrounds. Panelists are Vanessa Pe\u00f1a (St. Edward\u2019s University), Vivian Barnette (North Carolina A&amp;T University) and Andrew Lee (Monmouth University and current president of the American College Counseling Association).<\/p>\n<p>Keynote speaker Jules Wilson, youth and young adult coordinator for the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, will share state-specific mental health trends for college-aged students and look ahead to 2021 challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDirectors are not immune to stress and burnout,\u201d Rickard said, \u201cso we\u2019ll spend time just getting the opportunity to hang out and play games and get to know each other and have some discussion breakout groups just to kind of de-stress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The importance of on-campus counseling centers for college students continues to rise for college students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe specialize in knowing what college students are going through, so we understand the academic calendar and how the stressors wax and wane with the class schedule,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are aware of the developmental issues that affect 18- to 25-year-olds. We are generalists, but we specialize in working with this age group. We provide really good care, probably better than they can find in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Keilan Rickard, director of the UTC Counseling Center, comes up idea for Zoom conference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2020\/12\/utc-counselor-creates-first-ever-conference-for-others-in-higher-ed\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1493,"featured_media":34265,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,7712,64],"tags":[99291,99290],"class_list":{"0":"post-34252","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-community","8":"category-faculty-and-staff","9":"category-news","10":"tag-keilan-rickard","11":"tag-utc-counseling-center","12":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>UTC counselor creates first-ever statewide counselors&#039;
