Chat from the Old Cap: Mental Health and Wellness

Allison Bruhn, former middle school teacher and current executive director of the University of Iowa’s Scanlan Center for School Mental Health, witnessed firsthand the number of students who had severe mental health and behavioral issues and knew she had to do something about it.

Hear Bruhn’s story at this Chat From the Old Cap where she’ll join Sarah Hansen, the vice president of student life at the University of Iowa, and Aubrette Kinne, sports psychologist for University of Iowa Athletics, in a conversation about implementing mental health initiatives in schools. 

Chat from the Old Cap is a series of virtual engagement sessions featuring University of Iowa alumni and friends sharing stories from their careers, backgrounds, and the university that unites us.
