Applying the Surgeon General’s Model for Workplace Mental Health and Wellbeing to Higher Education

Stress and burnout are leading issues for faculty, students, and staff on campuses worldwide. Yet faculty, staff, and academic leaders are charged with creating a safe, stable environment where students can learn optimally, and faculty can thrive. To most effectively accomplish this, the base causes of stress and burnout must be addressed, and changes need to be made at this foundational level.

In 2022, the U.S. Surgeon General’s office issued a robust workplace mental health and wellbeing framework that can be useful for improving the health and wellbeing of campus faculty, staff, administrators, and students. This Magna Online Seminar reviews the model and connect it to campus context. Using a systems approach, the presenters guide participants through potential starting points for implementing a wellbeing improvement plan on their campuses.
