During the pandemic, educator concerns about student mental health surged, with faculty feeling unprepared to offer appropriate support or make referrals. At the same time, instructors’ own mental wellbeing was declining. To address these challenges, a faculty mental health toolkit was developed for Bow Valley College, providing guidance to faculty. Join us in exploring the evolution of this toolkit, which has organically developed over the years to better support both student and educator wellbeing. Discover how it has become a vital resource for fostering mental health, community, and resilience in the classroom.
