When a student shares a concern with you, below is an email template you can use to respond in with care and concern while encouraging them to seek resources: 

 

Dear ______, 

As your instructor for this course, student well-being is a value in my course. 

 At times, I will reach out to students directly if I have concerns. 

Thank you for sharing your current circumstances in a recent email/assignment.  I am concerned about your wellbeing and want to make sure you get support and are connected to helpful campus resources. For your convenience, I am including a few links to some helpful resources.
