Faculty & Staff Resources for Student Mental Health

Supporting Student Well-Being in and Beyond the Classroom

Faculty and staff play a vital role in supporting student mental health. This page provides information on Mental Health & Wellness Center services, classroom presentations, workshops, and tools you can use to help students navigate stress, emotional challenges, and life transitions.

Whether you’re looking to connect students with care, invite wellness support into your classroom, or include mental health resources in your syllabus, these resources are here to support you and your students.

For Emergencies Call 911

If you have an emergency or need an ambulance, please call 911.  See what to do in case of an emergency.

Promoting Our Services

  1. Invite our faculty to introduce our services at the start of the quarter.
  2. Begin your quarter introducing our services and showing students our services to make referrals easier in the future.
  3. Remind students frequently during the quarter in this virtual time that if they need any support you are able to help with a referral.

We'd Love to Reach Every Classroom

We can spend just 10 or so  minutes in your classroom introducing ourselves and our  services.  

We also can provide workshops on related topics:

  • Intro to Mental Heath & Wellness Services.
  • Intro to Stress or Stress Busters!
  • Exam Anxiety Presentation.
  • Compassion Fatigue and Burn Out.

Supporting Student's Well Being with Red Folder

At Foothill College, we recognize the need for our students to grow not just intellectually, but emotionally and socially. The Red Folder is designed to offer guidance on how faculty, staff, and administrators can support student well-being through understanding, warmth, and proactive intervention when students experience distress.
