Board of Regents in April 2019<\/a>, former President Ray Cross established the Student Behavioral Health Initiative and charged three workgroups with developing recommendations to address the growing influence of behavioral health issues on the personal and academic lives of students. Counseling, Health, and other Student Affairs professionals representing all 13 UW universities participated in the workgroups during Summer\/Fall 2019 and completed reports summarizing their recommendations in Spring 2020. The overarching goal of the initiative is to improve the emotional health and wellbeing of students, in service to their personal and academic goals.<\/p>\n<p>A comprehensive public health framework composed of the following three intervention levels guide the work of the Initiative:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Prevention<\/strong> &#8211; Creating healthy campus environments and improving overall well-being for all students<\/li>\n<li><strong>Early Intervention<\/strong> \u2013 Reaching targeted\/vulnerable populations and providing resources to address issues early<\/li>\n<li><strong>Treatment &amp; Crisis Response<\/strong> \u2013 Providing critical treatment and crisis response services to help those in greatest need<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"cfct-module cfct-module-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/student-behavioral-health\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/04\/Picture1-768x428.png\" class=\"cfct-mod-image cfct-module-image-mod-image aligncenter \" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/student-behavioral-health\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/04\/Picture1-768x428.png 768w, https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/student-behavioral-health\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/04\/Picture1-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/student-behavioral-health\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/04\/Picture1-1024x571.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/student-behavioral-health\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/04\/Picture1-1536x857.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/student-behavioral-health\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/288\/2024\/04\/Picture1-2048x1143.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"cfct-module uwsa-rich-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cfct-mod-content copy\"><h6><span class=\"doc-icon\"><a class=\"doc-type pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/student-behavioral-health\/download\/SBH-Summary_Summer-2025.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Activities Summary<span class=\"sr-only\"> pdf<\/span><\/a><\/span>\r\n<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 cfct-block\"><\/div><div class=\"col-md-6 cfct-block\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1474,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1116","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","cfct-can-haz-build"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/student-behavioral-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/student-behavioral-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/student-behavioral-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/student-behavioral-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1474"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/student-behavioral-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1116"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/student-behavioral-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1116\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3163,"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/student-behavioral-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1116\/revisions\/3163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wisconsin.edu\/student-behavioral-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
