Anchored in the 2025–2026 theme of Slow Care, T3M brings together faculty, students, and community partners from across 51ÁÔÆæ to ask how “slowing down” our understanding of mental illness—beyond quick diagnoses and pharmaceutical fixes—can foster more nuanced, trauma-informed, and survivor-centered approaches to care.
