Staff and Faculty
Student Wellness Services are available to enrolled students only and we are unable to provide physical or mental health services to staff and faculty. However, there are other resources available at Caltech:
Staff and Faculty Consultation Center
If you are a staff or faculty member who is in need of counseling services or other support for yourself, please visit the Staff and Faculty Consultation Center.
Caltech Connect - Suicide Prevention Training
Caltech Connect training is a 2-hour interactive experience designed to give participants practical skills for having supportive conversations and making referrals to resources for those in crisis.
Caltech Connect is highly interactive, as participants engage in multiple exercises throughout the training to increase both their skills and awareness concerning the emotional intensity of responding to suicidal college students. The training culminates with a role play, in which participants are given the opportunity to practice the skills they are taught during the course of the training.
