Capacity to Connect supports student mental health
Faculty and staff in British Columbia’s post-secondary sector now have more tools to help them recognize and respond to students living with mental health challenges.
Capacity to Connect, developed by BCcampus, is an open, adaptable digital training resource that provides basic mental health and wellness knowledge for post-secondary faculty and staff to support students in distress.
“This past year has been tough for all British Columbians, including post-secondary students who have had to deal with so many disruptions and unexpected challenges,” said Anne Kang, Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Training. “The work that BCcampus has done to develop Capacity to Connect means faculty and staff at our post-secondary institutions will have easier access to the tools and skills they need to provide intervention and help for students who are struggling with their mental health and wellness.”
