Mental Health Training

We all have a role in creating a culture of care at Lafayette. This includes noticing and attending to our own mental health and the mental health of members of our community.

All Lafayette students have the opportunity to complete a mental health and well-being training module that was created to support a public health approach to community wellness.

Mental Well-Being for Students

This online training provides the opportunity to learn essential skills and information to navigate the stressors and emotional challenges associated with college life. The 45-minute course helps students practice self-care strategies, recognize when they or their peers are in distress, and take action to find additional support.

*Should you encounter any technical concerns and need support, please contact Vector at support.vectortrainingeducation.com/s/contactsupport.
