Faculty and staff guide to support student mental health

Knowing what to say or do to guide a distressed student can be challenging.  The UIC Wellness Center has shared a Faculty Guide to Supporting Student Mental Health developed by the Jed Foundation (JED).  Advice in this guide is also pertinent for staff in non-faculty roles.  This guide is just one resource to help our community build a culture of care on campus.  As faculty and staff, our role is to care not counsel.

The guide can be accessed at the following link.
