Leave of Absence Policies,
Practices, & Programs
CMHEP team members Chelsea Cobb & Ali Theis
led a critical conversation on the topic of leave of absence policies, practices, and programs at the Mental Health Association in New York State (MHANYS) Summit.

This is a continuation of the Center's work championing health-promoting leaves and returns to college for young adults. In 2021, in partnership with The Ruderman Family Foundation, we released two one-of-their-kind Guides on Leaves of Absence for College Students and College Administration.
