Most faculty members deal with student mental health issues, but only a few have received training
Nearly 80 percent of higher education faculty report dealing with student mental health issues issues that more than 90 percent of faculty believe have worsened or significantly worsened during the pandemic, according to a new nationwide survey led by a Boston University mental health researcher.
The vast majority of faculty members, myself included, are not trained mental health professionals, but we have a role to play in supporting student well-being. These data underscore a real opportunity to better equip faculty with knowledge and basic skills to support and refer students.

Event Description
Until recently, telehealth services were expensive, rarely available, and often of limited scope and quality. But the COVID-19 pandemic forced a rapid, radical expansion.
To promote the adoption of telehealth services, the Office for Civil Rights within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) relaxed the requirement that providers communicate with patients through HIPAA-compliant platforms. Health care providers took their services online, and novel platforms connecting patients with providers proliferated. In short order, telehealth became more accessible and less expensive. From general practice specialties, such as family medicine, to highly specialized fields, such as dermatology, patients can now access a variety of services through websites and smartphone apps.
