Design Thinking for Mental Health and Well-Being

Want to make a difference in mental health and well-being while building valuable skills? In this introductory design thinking workshop, you’ll explore how creativity, empathy, and collaboration can be used to design better products, services, and programs that support well-being.

Through guided activities, you’ll learn the basics of design thinking and practice applying them to a real-world challenge from the VCU Health Hub. You’ll connect with peers, generate fresh ideas, and walk away with practical tools you can use in your career, community, and daily life. You’ll also earn a digital badge to showcase your experience on LinkedIn, your resume, or your portfolio.

This event is a collaboration by VCU da Vinci Center, School of Social Work, and the Health Hub.

This free virtual workshop is open to all VCU students and community members.
