From Compliance to Care
A webinar with Dr. Josie Ahlquist and Kristen Abell
Accessibility and Mental Health in Higher Ed
Welcome, and thank you for joining us!
It was a delight to host this webinar alongside Kristen Abell, exploring the intersection of digital accessibility, mental health, and what it means to build online spaces where every person can fully show up.
Accessibility is often framed as a technical checklist. But underneath the standards and the compliance language is something much more human: who gets to participate, who gets to belong, and who feels supported when they arrive.
This resource hub is here to support your continued learning and reflection after our time together. Explore, download, and share the materials below as you consider how your digital spaces can become more accessible, more affirming, and more aligned with the people you serve.

Coaching Designed with You in Mind
Social media isn’t just a checkbox. It’s where your community lives.
If you’re managing platforms alongside a dozen other priorities, you already know the feeling — posting consistently but wondering if any of it is actually landing. Showing up online while quietly running on fumes. Knowing there’s more strategy to build, but no time to step back and build it.
This is exactly where one-on-one coaching can help.
We’ll meet you where you are — not where a generic playbook says you should be. Together, we’ll get clearer on your goals, your capacity, and the people you’re trying to reach. Then we’ll shape a sustainable, human-centered approach that makes your work feel more focused, more intentional, and a whole lot more connected.
Choose the package that fits your season — 6, 9, or 12 sessions — and we’ll build from there.
