The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unmistakable impact on individuals' mental health, including students. Aligned with its mission of student success and cultivating a culture of well-being, University Life has prepared a resource, "Let's Help Our Students: A Faculty and Staff Guide for Supporting Student Well-Being and Mental Health at Mason," that reports on surveys of students' mental health and suggests steps and resources for faculty and staff members to use in supporting our students.
The handbook, which may be downloaded at the link to the right, identifies signs that a student may be struggling, suggests ways to help a student feel comfortable in sharing their feelings of distress, and lists tools and resources inside and outside the university to help address student (and faculty or staff) concerns.
