Mental Health among Higher Education Faculty, Administrators, and
Graduate Studentsaddresses how many academics who experience mental
distress or mental illness are afraid to speak out because of
cultural stigma and fears of career repercussions. Many academics'
reluctance to publicly disclose their struggles complicates
attempts to understand their experiences through research or
popular media, or to develop targeted mental health resources and
institutional policies. This volume builds on the existing studies
in this greatly under-researched area of mental health among
faculty, administrators, and graduate students in higher education.
The chapters' research findings will help institutions communicate
about mental health in culturally-competent and person-centered
ways; create work environments conducive to mental well-being; and
support their academic employees who have mental health challenges.
This book argues that discussions of health and wellness, equity,
workload expectations and productivity, and campus diversity must
also cover chronic illness and disability, which include mental
health and mental illness.
