The University of Maryland Counseling Center has launched a new podcast series that aims to help students maintain positive mental health throughout their academic journeys.
Real Talk for Terps, currently hosted by doctoral psychology intern Tatyana Smith, features 30-minute conversations with mental health professionals and UMD students to “get real about student mental health.” Through personal stories and expert tips, the first two episodes tackle the topics of loneliness and sleep.
“We hope the podcast can help reduce stigma and increase belonging for students when listening to their fellow students’ honest experiences with mental health,” said Allison Asarch, staff psychologist and coordinator of consultation and outreach services at the Counseling Center.
New episodes, slated for release throughout April with plans for more in future semesters, will focus on topics of interest identified by student polling and feedback. Listeners can find all the episodes on Spotify.
Maryland Today is produced by the Office of Marketing and Communications for the University of Maryland community on weekdays during the academic year, except for university holidays.
