Prescription for Happiness is a mental health club that seeks to promote mental health worldwide and address the importance of mental health by combating social issues and discussing the future of medicine. The Prescription for Happiness club itself looks at mental health from a medical standpoint. However, the club is not limited to students that are interested in the medical field.
One aspect of the club is our podcast, which looks at mental health from a public health perspective, in which we focus on societal issues and the impact it has on the public’s mental health. This includes issues such as racism, sexual assault, and much more. Another aspect of the club is promoting other mental health/medical organizations and charities through fundraisers and volunteering. Eventually, we also hope to volunteer at local inner city schools and educate children about the importance of mental health, while also helping people with their own. Not everyone is required to be a part of or speak in the podcast. Only individuals that indicate their interest will be given the opportunity to speak in it.
Currently, we are looking for passionate individuals who are willing to be a part of our executive board (the application formed will be linked below). Applications will be due on August 16th 2020 at 11:59pm. As our club begins to grow, we hope to add more initiatives along the way and be open to new suggestions.
