Knowing and Sharing Resources
There are many resources available to students that they may be unaware of or how to access. Familiarize yourself with these resources so that you can share and pass them along to students. Sharing general information about mental-health and wellness resources early and consistently can signal to students that you care, especially if students begin to feel overwhelmed. You could include updates in class emails or include a slide with resources in a PowerPoint presentation.
If you are concerned about a student, University Counseling Service has resources on how to help a student in distress.
