Incorporate Mental Health Education in Your Classroom
Regardless of the courses you teach, your students’ mental health matters. Better mental health yields better academic performance too! Incorporating some mental health content into your courses is easy, and it doesn’t require any class time at all.
Mental Well-Being Online Course
The Mental Well-Being Online Course (MWB) provides a general overview of mental health signs and symptoms, self-care strategies, and ways to support peers who are struggling. The course can be completed in about one hour and a certificate of completion is provided.
MWB can be accessed through students’ eWeber portal and is also available on Canvas Commons to simply drag-and-drop into your course.
Therapy Assistance Online (TAO)
TAO offers a large collection of psychoeducational self-help modules addressing numerous mental health topics including anxiety and depression, loneliness, perfectionism, impostor syndrome, grief, and many more. Average length of individual modules is 20-30 minutes. TAO can be accessed through students' eWeber portals.
TAO makes it easy to assign students collections of modules and provide credit for completing them. Doing so incentivizes students to learn important life skills! Several collections, including First Year Toolkit, De-Stress Success and others are available in Canvas Commons. You can also curate your own set of required modules and track student completions if you like.
