Supporting Mental Health as a Campus Community
We're here to help you support the students in your life.
University faculty and staff may be the first to notice when a student is struggling. You may also be the person a student feels most comfortable going to for help. This puts you in a unique position to support mental health on campus. We're here to help you support them.
