Abstract

Student mental health issues are on the rise (Wiest & Treacy, 2019). Faculty are key supporters of students; those who do not understand student mental health contribute to a lack of student success and may negatively impact student-faculty relationships. Failure to address these issues leads to an increase in stigma around mental health and seeking treatment. In my project, I will develop a faculty training program to strengthen student-faculty relationships by enhancing faculty awareness of students' mental health and available resources. Following participation in the training, faculty will be able to understand different mental health issues, know how to refer students to mental health campus resources are on campus, and learn how to navigate conversations about mental health with students.
