White Paper For Faculty Professional Development In Establishing, Addressing, And Informing, To Promote Mental Wellness For Health Careers Students

This research utilized a qualitative case study to explore the need for faculty professional development in the health careers division at a public non-profit California community college, specifically Porterville College. Literature suggests that mental health is a crucial topic to address in contemporary higher education. College students, in general, are facing a notable deterioration in their overall mental well-being, accompanied by an increase in mental disorders. Furthermore, students in health careers programs frequently encounter even more intense stress and psychological challenges, stemming from their constant exposure to high-pressure, emotionally charged situations, and vicarious trauma. Although literature emphasizes the critical need to explore mental health in higher education, there is a marked deficit in faculty professional development related to student mental health necessities. The findings of this study suggest that there is a demand for faculty to establish a rapport and environment that is conducive to student mental wellbeing, address the mental health needs of the students, and inform students about available mental health resources. This study concludes with a white paper to guide professional development for Porterville College Health Careers faculty
