Gannett works with campus partners to provide education to enhance the ability of Cornell faculty, staff, and students to participate in prevention and intervention activities. This education is a component of our community-based, public health approach to student mental health.

Educational strategies include:

• Gatekeeper education: "Notice & Respond" presentations at faculty meetings, staff training, and workshops for students provide information on how to identify, reach out to, and refer students in distress.
• Parent education: Written materials (e.g., Gannett Health Services’ Family Matters newsletter) and on-campus events (e.g., Orientation Resource Fair) inform parents about the family's role in mental health issues and services available at the University.
• Self-care education: Online mental health self-assessments and stress management materials and programs help students develop coping strategies and learn when and where to turn for help.
• Media communication: Advertisements, posters, resource cards, and web pages promote the concept of the Caring Community, including attentiveness to others in distress and availability of campus resources.
• Public events: Guest speaker presentations provide education on a range of mental health topics (e.g., Henry Chung ’84, MD’s presentations on Asian and Asian-American Mental Health).
