Mental Health Awareness and Support

The University of Illinois System is deeply committed to the well-being of every member of our community.

These new trainings and resources reflect our shared responsibility to foster a culture of care, awareness, and compassion across our universities.

About

Mental health encompasses emotional, psychological, and social well-being, affecting how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.

For students, it influences academic performance, social connections, and the ability to manage the pressures of university life.

For faculty and staff, it impacts teaching effectiveness, workplace satisfaction, and work-life balance.
