The Importance of Unity in Crisis

Description

A university student is experiencing a significant mental health crisis during a large resource fair at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), which includes anxiety and depression. Various stakeholders see this, and there is considerable disagreement since different individuals have different ideas about how to serve the student effectively. Ultimately, the multidisciplinary team is tasked with developing a support plan for the student. Overall a meeting is held to make a holistic plan for the student to address short term and long term support. The team cannot agree on the priorities for the student and how to create a manageable plan for the student. During the second meeting, everyone decided to focus on their underlying values and prioritize the needs of the student, while including the student.
