This section will provide information and resources for UCSD faculty and staff to increase their understanding of common psychological issues that may be experienced by some UCSD students. 

We provide resources on How to Work with Students Following a Crisis. This section may be particularly helpful for those working with students who have or may be affected by the recent Virginia Tech University incident.

In addition, our "Helping the Emotionally Distressed Student" handbook provides information on how to assess and assist students dealing with a variety of mental health issues and concerns, such as:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Eating Disorders
• Alcohol and Substance Use

In addition, this section provides helpful campus links and self-help resources.

Counseling and psychological services are available for UCSD faculty and staff through the Faculty/Staff Assistance Program (FSAP). FSAP provides counseling, consultation, assessment, and referral services for UCSD employees. Services are available for full-time, part-time, temporary, and some contract employees and their immediate families, as well as UCSD retirees and graduate students employed by UCSD. All services are free. For more information about FSAP, please call (858) 534-5523.
