Wellbeing Workshops FAQ

For BetterMynd Counselors

❓ Q: What is a Wellbeing Workshop?

✅ A: A wellbeing workshop is an educational, skill-based session offered to students via the BetterMynd platform. These are not therapy groups, but structured workshops focused on psychoeducation and student wellness.

❓ Q: How long is a workshop and who can attend?

✅ A: Workshops are 1 hour long and open to students from any of BetterMynd’s participating campuses. Each workshop can accommodate 12 to 25 students.

❓ Q: What do I need to submit to offer a workshop?

✅ A: Through your counselor dashboard, please submit:

  • Topic and description (include at least 2 learning outcomes)
  • Maximum number of attendees
  • Focus areas (student struggles or your specialties)
  • Preferred time slot
  • A presentation file outlining your planned content

⚠️ Once submitted, your request cannot be edited. If changes are needed, you'll need to resubmit.

❓ Q: How far in advance do I need to submit a workshop?

✅ A: Beginning Fall 2024, all workshops must be submitted by the 15th of the prior month.

Example: For a September workshop, submit by August 15th.

❓ Q: Is approval guaranteed once I submit a workshop?

✅ A: No. Workshops may be declined if:

  • Content does not meet criteria
  • Too many similar workshops are already scheduled
  • Topic is already covered
  • You’ve reached the monthly limit for submissions

❓ Q: How do I launch a workshop?

  1. Log in to your BetterMynd counselor account
  2. Navigate to the “Workshops” tab
  3. Click “Join Workshop” next to your session

❓ Q: Do I need to approve student sign-ups?

✅ A: To view attendees:

  1. Log in to your BetterMynd account
  2. Go to “Workshops”
  3. Click the workshop title

❓ Q: Can I lead a workshop outside my licensed state?

✅ A: Counselors are paid $135.00 for each completed workshop with at least one attendee.

❓ Q: How many workshops can I lead per month?

✅ A:

  • No registrants: Cancel the workshop at least 24 hours in advance. No compensation is provided.

    No-shows (with registrants): You are eligible for a $50.00 no-show reimbursement if:

    • Students registered but didn’t attend
    • You waited at least 15 minutes

❓ Q: What topics are appropriate for workshops?

  • Homesickness
  • Academic Distress
  • Test Anxiety
  • Home for the Holidays
  • Interpersonal Conflicts
  • Racialized Trauma
  • Mindful Eating
  • Self-Compassion
