Interested instructors can include the following statement in their syllabi to help connect their students to our services: As a student you may experience a range of issues that can cause barriers to learning, such as strained relationships, increased anxiety, alcohol/drug problems, feeling down, difficulty concentrating and/or lack of motivation. These mental health concerns or stressful events may lead to diminished academic performance or reduce a student’s ability to participate in daily activities. The University of Alabama in Huntsville offers services to assist you with addressing these and other concerns you may be experiencing. If you or someone you know are suffering from any of the aforementioned conditions, you can learn more about the broad range of confidential mental health services available on campus via the Department of Student Affairs located under the Health and Wellness or the UAH Counseling Center by calling 256.824.6203. 24 hour emergency help is also available through the 24/7 National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1.800.273.TALK or at suicidepreventionlifeline.org or a student who lives on-campus can reach out to the UAH PD dispatch to contact an on-call counselor by calling 256.824.6596. If you find yourself in a mental health emergency, call 6911 on-campus or 911 off-campus.
