NMHA’s 2005 “Back to Campus” & “Back
to School”
Campaigns Focuses on Dorm Leaders and Parents
This year’s “Back to Campus” kits offer college dorm residential
assistants (RAs) ways to help students—particularly incoming freshmen—deal
with college life. The “Back to School” kits, which are geared toward
elementary and secondary schools, will include tools parents can use to help
assess their child’s emotional health and sample questions for physicians.
These kits also include drop-in articles, radio PSAs and more. Materials will
be available for download at www.nmha.org.
