Dr. Teresa Heinz Housel is senior tutor in the School of Journalism, Communication, and Marketing at Massey University of New Zealand.

I highly recommend Mental Health Among Higher Education Faculty, Administrators, and Graduate Students: A Critical Perspective as a very important source for presenting and examining the latest relevant scholarship concerning communication and mental health issues in higher education. We are living through a difficult time in modern society now, where mental health problems have challenged many people around the globe, especially those who are involved in academic life. Changes in the delivery of higher education, where new and evolving regulations related to pandemic prevention and control have dramatically altered the ways that students, faculty, and administrators are able to engage with one another have often fostered discomforting feelings of isolation, frustration, depression, and the strong need of social support. This book will help members of academic communities recognize these mental health communication needs and enable them to chart culturally competent and person-centered communication strategies for promoting wellbeing.
