Expanding Well-Being Initiatives Through Faculty Partnerships

Demand for campus mental health services continues to grow, prompting campus leaders to consider how they can proactively reach students with mental health and well-being support before they reach a point of crisis or require clinical support. Many institutions have explored well-being initiatives to help students develop the resilience and coping skills they need to manage everyday challenges and succeed on campus both personally and academically.

These initiatives are often led by student affairs, but progressive institutions have gone beyond student affairs to integrate these skills into the classroom, curriculum, and other academic settings.
