Health Education & Promotion
Wellness: How to Help Students with Stress
Project Objectives
The Health Education and Promotion Stress Campaign (pdf) serves to create awareness around student stress on campus and to promote increased knowledge of campus resources. We work to increase faculty and staff involvement in helping students reduce and manage stress. We also provide information on campus resources that are available for students to use and provide faculty and staff with tips on how to work with students to prevent and respond to student stress.
Recommended Resources
Syllabus Supplement
This Syllabus Supplement Resource List (pdf) provides a brief description of some of the campus resources that are available to students to help them manage and prevent stress. It also contains a number of useful online websites that provide information on techniques to manage stress, information on study skills, and relaxation mp3s. Attach this sheet to your syllabus or pass it out to your students separately so they can be aware of and utilize these resources.
Extended Resource List
This is a more extensive and detailed list of campus resources (pdf) that you can keep in your office to refer to when you encounter stressed students. This list contains specific information about these resources, such as hours, location and contact information. When directing a student to these resources, it is important that faculty also give the student specific details about the resource so they know exactly where to go.
Tip Sheet
This is a quick reference sheet (pdf) specifically for faculty and staff that gives tips on how to help students manage their stress and how to make the classroom a lower stress environment. It includes tips on recognizing and responding to stress, providing academic assistance, interacting with students, and encouraging time management.
