mental health syllabi statement

a statement in the syllabus can send a positive signal of support for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 ' learning and well-being by including recommendations and encouragement for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 to take care of themselves and seek help when they need it.  the statement might also be used to encourage classroom conversations about the stigma that keeps 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 from getting professional help.

suggested statement:

as a university student, you may sometimes experience mental health concerns or stressful events that interfere with your academic performance and negatively impact your daily activities. 

all of us can benefit from support during times of struggle. if you or anyone you know experiences academic stress, difficult life events or feelings of anxiety or depression, student health and wellness is here to help. their services are free for lakehead 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and appointments are available. you can learn more about confidential mental health services available on and off campus at lakeheadu.ca/shw

remember that getting help is a smart and courageous thing to do- for yourself, for those you care about, and for those who care about you.  asking for support sooner rather than later is almost always helpful.

you could also choose to include this slide with the statement in your lecture. student health and wellness can also provide a short presentation about the wellness services on campus.

we would be interested in knowing whether you use the signature or statement (or a modified version).  if you have any questions, feedback, or otherwise would like to suggest modifications, feel free to contact lindsey wachter, health and wellness promoter, activities.shcc@lakeheadu.ca.
