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.

I highly recommend Mental Health Among Higher Education Faculty, Administrators, and Graduate Students: A Critical Perspective as a very important source for presenting and examining the latest relevant scholarship concerning communication and mental health issues in higher education. We are living through a difficult time in modern society now, where mental health problems have challenged many people around the globe, especially those who are involved in academic life. Changes in the delivery of higher education, where new and evolving regulations related to pandemic prevention and control have dramatically altered the ways that students, faculty, and administrators are able to engage with one another have often fostered discomforting feelings of isolation, frustration, depression, and the strong need of social support. This book will help members of academic communities recognize these mental health communication needs and enable them to chart culturally competent and person-centered communication strategies for promoting wellbeing.
