Syllabi Statement

Including the following statement on your syllabi is a great first step to encourage positive mental health for your students:

As a student you may experience a range of issues that can cause barriers to learning, such as interpersonal concerns, increased anxiety or feeling down, alcohol/drug problems, attention and concentration concerns, and/or lack of motivation. These mental health concerns or stressful events may impact your academic performance or reduce your ability to participate in daily activities. The UCI Counseling Center offers services to assist you with addressing these and other concerns you may be experiencing by providing FREE, confidential, time limited therapy services. If you or someone you know are suffering from any of the concerns or symptoms listed above, you can learn more about the array of confidential mental health and outreach and prevention services offered by the UCI Counseling Center by visiting counseling.uci.edu  or calling 949-824-6457. The Counseling Center is located in 203 Student Services I Building. You can reach an on-call counselor when the Counseling Center is closed at 949-824-6457 and select option “2” to speak to a mental health professional. Twenty-four hour emergency help is also available though the 24/7 National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-TALK or at suicidepreventionlifeline.org
