Mental Health Initiatives

Mental health is often at the heart of a student’s personal and academic success.

Health Education and Prevention Services (HEPS) staff work collaboratively to provide a prevention-based, inclusive, campus student mental health program that includes a comprehensive suite of population-based strategies in support of the health and well-being of the CSU campus community. Strategies focus along the continuum from improved mental health and fostering of protective factors; identification and connection of students in distress to support resources; to suicide prevention efforts. Staff operate as consultants to the CSU Student/Staff Death Consultation and Response Team and Public Safety Team after a student suicide to apply postvention best practices. They also are critical members of committees contributing to student success efforts and community/state suicide prevention.
