Well-Being and Self-Care in the Classroom

A growing mental health crisis is impacting the health and well-being of college-age students. Knowing this, it’s important to let students know they’re not alone if they’re struggling, and that there are resources if they need them. Prioritizing students’ health lets them know we care about them and truly have their best interest at heart. This module is designed to provide faculty with strategies to support student mental health and well-being, and to adjust courses to enhance students’ motivation and engagement.
