Student Mental Health & Well-Being Collaborative

Participate in EAB’s Student Mental Mental Health & Well-Being Collaborative to make progress on student well-being initiatives through a series of guided workshops with peers.

In the wake of the pandemic era, the importance of addressing student mental health and well-being remains a heightened focus for campus leaders. Student affairs teams must leverage on the current momentum to facilitate student wellness throughout their campus experience.

"

We have a long way to go before proactive well-being support is truly integrated throughout the student experience, and not just as an add-on here and there.

About the Collaborative

EAB’s Mental Health and Well-Being Collaborative will bring together a cohort of peer institutions to engage in a cross-campus curriculum. Participants will attend virtual working sessions and engage in take-home activities to reimagine approaches to student mental health and well-being across the next decade.

Successfully implement student well-being initiatives through expert-guided workshops

  1. Embedding well-being support into more student touchpoints

    Sample activity: Build a student touchpoint map to identify where proactive well-being support is lacking.

  2. Leveraging data to demonstrate impact of mental health work

    Sample activity: Create a prioritization document to identify assessment areas needing more attention.

  3. Empowering faculty and graduate students as mental health champions

    Sample activity: Work with academic colleagues to co-develop plug-and-play syllabi wellness statements.

  4. Fundraising for student mental health and well-being

    Sample activity: Partner with director of annual giving to develop a well-being fundraising project and perfect your pitch.
