\"decorativeThis page is for supporting student well-being and mental health. We offer resources and practical strategies for faculty as they strive to create supportive relationships and classroom cultures in which all students can thrive.<\/p>\n

During times of prolonged stress and crisis, it is necessary for faculty to reach out to students in a variety of ways, which we address in these resources.<\/p>\n

We also offer proactive approaches to thinking about individual and classroom responses when there is a crisis, distressing event, or tragedy on or off campus that affects us all.<\/p>\n

As always, if you have questions or would like to have a conversation with one of our staff, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

Student stress, anxiety and depression levels have risen sharply overall in recent years, and are compounded when distressing events occur on campus or when national and international conflicts and crises occur. These events affect many of our students deeply, and we are called to notice and attend to the myriad ways they might respond to that distress. To prepare yourself for these inevitable moments, we have developed this resource to support you in responding sensitively and compassionately.<\/p>\n
