UHS hires mental health co-directors
Angela Janis, M.D., and Andrea Lawson, LCSW, were appointed in May as co-directors of Mental Health Services at University Health Services (UHS). Working together and in collaboration with other UHS departments and campus and community partners, Janis and Lawson will lead psychiatry and counseling services at UHS. Their goals include moving towards a more proactive and public health approach, expanding campus-based initiatives and outreach, and integrating online tools and eHealth into UHS’ mental health service model. “We are using student feedback to be really intentional about matching our system to the students’ needs,” says Lawson. “We are here,” says Janis, “and we are listening.”
