Jenna Omassi presented a keynote address at the Healthy Minds | Healthy Campuses Summit 2016. A challenge to health and well-being on college campuses is not only policy change, but the practices that fall under these policies. It is the positive change in practice that affects the success of well-being efforts, a step sometimes forgotten in policy development. This keynote focused on what policies affect student mental health and well-being on post-secondary campuses and the institutional barriers to creating practice that enables well-being.
