  • Information, education and training are available and accessible about accessing resources, positive coping skills, stress management, resilience, self-management, substance use, supporting others, etc.
  • Collaborative work with student government and other student organizations to create awareness and action related to mental health issues.

Syllabus Statement Example Language

CLICK HERE for examples of statements that could be included on your syllabi or website to remind students about mental health resources and that you are a mandated reporter under NDSU Policy 156.10 and NDSU Policy 162.7. Including information about campus resources and policy can go a long way toward reinforcing the message that NDSU cares about student well-being and does not tolerate discrimination, harassment, retaliation, sexual misconduct, or intimate partner violence
