Supporting Students Facing Mental Health Concerns

To address the rising cases of students experiencing mental health challenges, Dr. Gene Bourgeois, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, formed a Faculty Workgroup Spring 2020. The Provost’s charge for the Faculty Workgroup was to “develop recommendations on the roles and responsibilities of faculty members dealing with students facing mental health challenges.”

The purpose of this guide is to assist faculty with identifying their roles, responsibilities, and appropriate responses to support and assist students facing mental health challenges.
