As a valued staff/faculty member, thank-you for seeking more information about student mental health!
Did you know that 75% of mental illnesses have their onset by age 24 and young people age 15-24 are most likely to experience mental health issues? The demand for counselling sessions on campus increases on average 10% each year so Saint Mary's students are certainly no exception! We strive to build a caring campus community where everyone plays a role in supporting student mental health and we hope the information here is beneficial in that process.
Information on mental health resources available to faculty and staff members to support personal wellbeing.
Things to be mindful of when interacting with students that might signal a decline in mental health.
Suggestions regarding the role Faculty and staff can play in supporting students’ mental health.
Information on a 4-part training opportunity for faculty and staff members to increase confidence and skills supporting student mental health.
