Student Mental Health Support for Faculty: Understanding Roles, Responses & Resources (Hosted by the AAUP & SHaW Mental Health Services)
October 18th 3:30-4:30 Presentation; 4:30-5:00 Q & A
A growing number of university students have mental health needs or receive ADA accommodations for a disability. Many faculty members feel uncertain about how to respond when issues related to mental health or disability arise with students. Others may wonder what they can do to foster a wellness-enhancing campus climate. The goal of this presentation is to help faculty understand their role, know the relevant campus resources, and gain strategies for responding to several common situations faced by faculty.
Presenters:
- Stephanie Milan, Associate Professor& Clinical Psychology Program Head, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
- Kristina Stevens, Director of Mental Health, Student Health & Wellness, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
- Christine Wenzel, Associate Director, Center for Students with Disabilities
