Abstract
As faculty, our ultimate goal is student success. Higher education is often fast-paced, and students are juggling multiple roles and responsibilities. Many students learning online have children, careers, and are older than traditional college-age students. Adding college to an already full plate can create symptoms of burnout or due to the added stress may impact the well-being of students. By exploring how to identify various mental health issues and illnesses that students may present, the chapter will give knowledge, language, and understanding. This chapter presents common mental health issues that students may experience. Information will also be presented on how faculty can help students grow to reach their full potential as students while providing a supportive online classroom environment.
