Share Active Minds’ Faculty Guide (including a sample syllabi statement) with your professors and ask them to consider adding mental health resources to their course syllabi, signature line, and/or web platforms. Then, gather student leadership to partner with you (i.e. student government, RAs, student organizations, etc.) and gather letters of support from appropriate offices/departments (i.e. Counseling Center, Equity/Inclusion Office, Multicultural Center, etc.). Ask for a meeting with department heads/chairs, deans, and your Provost/VP of Academic Affairs to discuss why it’s important for faculty to share mental health resources with students.
