“Mental Health Among Higher Education Faculty addresses how many academics who experience mental distress or mental illness are afraid to speak out because of cultural stigma and fears of career repercussions. The chapters’ 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.”
