Help! I'm a Professor, Not a Psychologist! What Faculty can do to Support their Students’ Well-being The number of college students presenting with issues related to mental health continues to rise and, as a result, faculty are encountering more students with mental health concerns. We recognize that faculty might struggle to know if, when, and how to intervene. In this presentation we will discuss the signs that a student may be struggling and concrete ways for faculty to address those concerns. Led by Lindsay Johnson, Licensed Professional Counselor and Outreach Co-Coordinator Counselor, this event is co-sponsored by the Faculty Center and Counseling and Psychological Services. All sessions will be virtual but will not be recorded. |
