Shaping Our Next Student Mental Health Framework: Community Conversations  

As our Student Mental Health Framework 2022-2026 comes to the end of its implementation period, we are turning our focus to the next iteration of the framework. Student mental health continues to be a critical priority across our campus community. Recent initiatives and feedback have highlighted both the progress made and the opportunities to enhance access, awareness, and support. 

In summer 2026, we will begin engaging students, staff, and faculty through targeted consultations and open community conversations. Participation opportunities will continue to expand in fall 2026.

A summary of what we hear will be shared on this page to support transparency and ongoing dialogue. 

Consultation Formats: 

1. Community Conversations 
2. Smaller group discussions 
3. Individual or partner meetings with campus units
