Abstract

ABSTRACT Community college faculty play a significant role in the educational lives of their students. The focus of this article is to outline the ways faculty can support their students' mental health beyond referring students to on‐ or off‐campus resources such as a counseling center or support group. Strategies faculty can use such as leveraging assessment data, deploying trauma‐informed pedagogies, and using micro‐counseling approaches are discussed.
