Early Alert<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Student mental health is fundamental to learning and UBC has made it a goal to create a campus community that promotes wellbeing. To help achieve this goal, UBC has launched a new program called Early Alert, which will provide better support for students through early identification of issues, appropriate referral, and timely intervention.\u00a0Early Alert is part of a broader initiative to enhance student experience and wellbeing by improving how the university supports students across a range of services. This could mean helping students prevent problems from occurring, or offering timely and coordinated services to prevent problems from becoming overwhelming.<\/p>\n

With Early Alert, TAs can identify their concerns about students sooner and in a more coordinated way, and help \u00a0gives students the earliest possible connection to the right resources and support. While the Early Alert system does not explicitly make clear the role of TAs (and refers broadly to “Faculty and staff”) the reality is that TAs are more often in a better position to identify need than the course instructor. Please refer any such concerns to the course instructor. For more information on this resource click the following links.<\/p>\n
