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.
