Mental Health Training

College can be stressful at times. Build the confidence to talk with a student who you’re concerned about.

KSU has invested in an online interactive tutorial called At Risk Mental Health for Faculty and Staff to help everyone identify signs of distress, communicate openly about those concerns, and make appropriate referrals. The training takes approximately 50 minutes to complete and can be spaced out over time as your schedule permits (the program saves your responses as you progress through each scenario).

• Nearly 40% of college students have symptoms of depression that impact their performance.
• More than 1,000 suicides occur on U.S. college campuses each year. Veteran and LGBTQ+ students are the highest risks.
• Depressed and anxious students are more likely to be absent, take semesters off, or drop out.
• 25% of students who drop out with a GPA below 3.0 have a mental illness.
• Only 40% of students with a mental illness seek help.
• A mentally healthy campus is a safer campus.
