Mental Health Resource Hub
We believe in a holistic, integrated approach to mental health for students. Familiarize yourself with all the ways we support students’ mental health below.
Preventative and Non-Emergency Care
If you suspect a student is:
- Experiencing significant difficulties related to mental health, physical health, personal and family emergencies, financial issues or other areas of concern
- Displaying behavior that is distressing, disruptive or potentially harmful
Please report your concern to the Care Team. They will assess the report with the Student at Risk Committee and respond appropriately. If you have questions about filing a report, please call the Dean of Students office at 573-882-5397.

Interpersonal Conflict
Interpersonal Conflict Faculty and staff can email rsvp@missouri.edu to schedule an educational consultation to learn more about how to best support students related to interpersonal or relationship violence and to request teaching materials.
See, Say, Do
The mental health of college students has been a growing concern over the past several decades and recent events have only exacerbated the trend of increasing rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. We believe that supporting campus mental health and well-being is a community endeavor and something all faculty and staff at Mizzou can contribute to. But where do you start?
See, Say, Do is a facilitated program out of the Counseling Center designed to help you:
- See the signs of mental and emotional distress.
- Say something compassionate and ask questions to help you to better understand the individual’s distress
- Talk about what you can Do to take care of yourself and get the person connected to supportive resources that will help them in the long run.
To schedule a training for your department or organization, email Dr. Chuck Burgess. Open to faculty, staff and graduate students who are employed in an assistantship.
Don't Cancel Class
Our professional staff in the Wellness Resource Center will seamlessly step in to deliver engaging well-being presentations for planned events or unexpected absences. Students can continue learning, even if you aren’t there.
