The Transitions to Adulthood Center for Research (Transitions ACR) produced a new video series providing evidence-based information and strategies for college faculty members on how to support the academic success of students who experience mental health conditions.

Faculty (and students!) *also* have resources and support at UMBC:
- Student (Undergraduate and Graduate) Disability Services, pro-tip: many mental health conditions qualify as a disability, which also has a Faculty Resource Page
- Retriever Integrated Health has mental health services for all students
- BRACT Team consult when you are worried about a student
- Wellness Initiative for the self care of all UMBC community members
- Train in Mental Health First Aid - (the next session February 23rd) to be an effective ally.
- For work-related accommodations, reach out to Accessibility & Disability Services
