Who is a Mental Health Student Coalition member?
A member can be any Pitt student that for some reason cannot complete all of the liaison qualifications. For example, if someone would like to join us but does not have an official group to sponsor them, they would be a member. Or if someone would like to join and is apart of a SORC or FSL group but cannot complete the trainings, they would be a member.
