www.cmu.edu/news: Since March, Maureen Dasey-Morales has co-led Carnegie Mellon University’s response to the pandemic. Now, as we approach the start of the fall semester, the associate vice president for Community Health and Well-Being says we have reason to expect a successful return to campus, but we all must do our part.

Before Maureen Dasey-Morales became the associate vice president for Community Health and Well-Being, she was part of the CAPS office. While she was in this position I had the pleasure of attending a class she taught about dealing with psychiatric patients on EMS calls. With he background as licensed psychologist, Maureen has a lot of good incite both on what we can do to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, but also how these things will effect our lives and mental health. One of the most important things Maureen talked about in the video was staying connected emotionally. Lacking real human, in-person, contact for so long can have a huge emotional toll on people, very quickly. It is important, as she says, to find new "creative" ways to stay connected as to prevent mental health risks and issues that can begin to occur while in isolation. The most important part is to ask for help when you need it.
