Dear colleagues,
This September, the University of Illinois System will launch its new online mental health training program for all faculty, staff, and students.
As shared earlier this year, this voluntary training is designed to help our university community:
- Recognize signs of mental health challenges in others and themselves.
- Respond with practical, supportive strategies.
- Connect individuals to available university resources.
By building awareness and equipping our community with these skills, we take another step toward fostering a culture of care and support across our campuses.
Take a moment to watch this short message I recorded to highlight the importance of this new training.
Please continue to help raise awareness of this upcoming training and share this opportunity with your teams. We will provide a direct link to the training and additional details when it launches in September.
Thank you for your leadership and commitment to the wellbeing of our community.
Sincerely,
Nick Jones
Executive Vice President and Vice President for Academic Affairs
University of Illinois System
