ATLANTA — University System of Georgia (USG) Chancellor Steve Wrigley today appointed a Mental Health Task Force to address the growing concern of mental health challenges on campuses.
它将由奥尔巴尼州立大学校长马里昂·费德里克和美高梅博彩校长理查德·卡瓦哈尔共同主持，由大学系统、州机构、精神卫生组织和医学领域的代表组成。
“Incidents of mental health challenges are too common on campuses across the country and in the university system,” Wrigley said. “In a recent survey by the American Council on Education, 80 percent of the 1,700 college and university presidents participating said mental health is now a greater priority on campus than it was just three years ago.
“I am charging task force members to understand the scope of the issues and to review programs, policies and best practices within USG as well as campuses around the country. 美国地质调查局各机构、州和地方机构以及社区利益相关者之间的合作对于确保所有资源和伙伴关系都在桌面上至关重要。 The task force will provide recommendations to the Board of Regents and myself at the end of its review.”

“As a president of an institution, my first and foremost concern is the welfare of our campus community, including students, faculty and staff,” Carvajal said. “I’m honored to be asked to team with President Fedrick on this vitally important initiative and look forward to working with the other task force members to arrive at clear, implementable solutions.”
“The stigma and misunderstanding around mental health have substantially impacted college campuses across the nation affecting student success and faculty and staff productivity,” Fedrick said. “I applaud the University System of Georgia for advancing a proactive approach in addressing the issues, both known and unknown. I look forward to collaborating with the task force to facilitate awareness, support and resources for a complex issue facing our universities.”
