| dc.description.abstract | This study examined whether faculty members’ mental health literacy and perceptions of their role in communicating with college students influenced willingness to intervene and refer students impacted by mental health concerns to available services and support. Study participants (N=246) included faculty members from a four-year research university and a two-year community and technical college. Participants completed an online survey assessing their mental health literacy, perception of their role in communicating with students about mental health concerns, and willingness to intervene and refer students.
Results indicated an overall willingness to assist students with mental health concerns, but also showed the continued existence of mental health-related stigma and a lack of training and direction for faculty. Results further revealed that faculty members’ view of their role directly impacts their confidence and willingness to intervene and refer students to help. Practical implications for institutions, as well as recommendations for future research, are discussed. | en_US |
