Supporting Student Health and Wellness
For students to perform at their full potential, get good grades, and relieve stress and pressure, they will need to take care of their overall wellbeing. As a Health Promoting Campus, the campus community at Illinois can foster a Community of Care by familiarizing yourselves with campus resources and programs and referring students with disruptive/threatening behavior to appropriate campus resources.

Mental Health First Aid
The Mental Health First Aid Training teaches you how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders. This training will also provide you with the skills necessary to offer and provide initial help and how to guide a person toward appropriate care.

Suicide Prevention
The SOS for Higher Education: Suicide Prevention Training will help you to:
- Identify students who are at risk for suicide.

Build Your Own Blueprint Wellness Workshop
Faculty, staff, and campus partners can request wellness workshops from the Provost's office for your staff training and student programming. The Build Your Own Blueprint Wellness Workshop empowers students to create a personalized blueprint for well-being, drawing directly from the Student Wellness Guidebook that's available on Canvas and eText at Illinois.
