With June Gruber, Associate Professor, Department of Psychology and Neuroscience

Challenges to student wellness on college campuses are a growing concern nationwide, with 1 out of 3 first-year college students reporting serious mental difficulties and up to half of students rating their mental health as below average or poor. These challenges have exacerbated as a result of unprecedented academic stressors and social isolation during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Despite consensus that optimized student mental health is critical for fostering classroom success and engagement, relatively little guidance is typically provided for instructors on best practices for addressing common and serious student mental health concerns arising in teaching and mentoring settings. This workshop will focus on student mental health concerns instructors may encounter, practical strategies for addressing them effectively and sensitively, and areas to further enhance student wellness in the classroom and campus at CU Boulder and beyond during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
