Strengthening Campus Mental Health: From Vision to Practice 

A Toolkit for California Community Colleges

A practical guide for California Community Colleges seeking to build, strengthen, or refine campus mental health programs. The toolkit walks colleges through key considerations for designing and sustaining effective mental health services, including assessing campus needs, developing a program model, staffing and partnerships, funding, implementation, and continuous improvement. It includes practical guidance, examples from the field, conversation starters, and tools that colleges can adapt to their local context. The resource aligns well with the Chancellor’s Office’s broader work to support college implementation and expansion of mental health services.
