Faculty, staff, parents, and friends of students are often among the first to notice when students are encountering additional stress that interferes with a student’s well-being. Stress can at times disrupt academic progress, personal relationships, and daily behavior. Click on the link under "More Information" Signs of Stress for more information. A Student Health Resource Guide refers to community services available in Billings, as well as the Mental Health Center link.

The AUDIT link permits a brief assessment for alcohol use with recommendations for follow up.

An additional support link is the Crisis Text Line for immediate response via text messages.
