Faculty and Staff Display Commitment to Student Mental Health and Wellness

Building on mental health trainings offered to faculty and staff throughout this academic year, Student Life, Academic Affairs, Human Resources, and the Office of Equity and Diversity recently launched a new University initiative to help support student mental health.  

As student mental health and wellness concerns are on the rise nationally, students are increasingly reaching out to their trusted faculty and staff across campus for support and guidance. Our University commitment to helping students navigate these challenges led to the creation of a “Mental Health Matters” sticker that is pictured above and an information sheet that summarizes key resources. This sticker features a green ribbon which is the international symbol of mental health awareness.  

Faculty and staff who wish to do so are invited to pick up a “Mental Health Matters” sticker and display it outside their office to show their willingness to support students who are navigating challenges related to mental health and wellness. Stickers are available in the Provost’s Office, Office of Student Life, and Office of Human Resources. 

Students are encouraged to look for this sticker to identify folks on campus willing to provide support for mental health and wellness.
