Dear colleagues,

UC Irvine has a longstanding commitment to the health and wellness of our faculty, staff and students. Campuses across the country, including UCI, are seeing an increase in the demand for student mental health services. A number of faculty and staff have requested an "easy to access" guide that highlights our wellness and mental health resources.

An Academic Planning Group workgroup that included members of the Academic Senate and Administration, along with subject matter experts, has prepared a Resource Guide for Faculty and Staff in support of student mental health and wellness. This guide aggregates information about campus resources that can assist students in navigating a range of challenges.

This is not meant as a training guide, but instead was designed to equip faculty and staff with information to make appropriate referrals for support.

The guide is posted on the Provost's Faculty Resources page, and can be accessed directly from the following link:

Supporting Student Mental Health: A Resource Guide for Faculty and Staff
