A Focus on Student Mental Health
Overview
The Wisconsin School of Business recognizes the impact that mental health issues have on our students’ academic performance and overall wellbeing. We seek to create a supportive instructional community that has the comfort, tools, and fluency to talk with students about their mental health and shepherd them to appropriate services when help is needed. This page provides information and insights from school and campus partners as well as additional resources that instructors may consider bringing into their classroom teaching.
