How Do I Promote Student Mental Health & Well-Being?
Creating an academic environment supportive of student mental health may include open and regular conversations about mental health, reframing what success looks like, and being intentional about course design. Incorporating these practices into your teaching can help alleviate stress for students, and be particularly helpful for students experiencing mental health concerns. The instructional practices used in the classroom will vary based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the material and subject matter taught and the size of the classroom (i.e. discussion section or large lecture).

Include information about student mental health resources in your syllabus. Consider adding a statement encouraging students to use available resources.
