In this paper, we examine typical mental health interventions implemented in universities. We conducted semistructured, qualitative interviews with 34 academic workers and 20 nonacademic workers and administrators employed at Canadian universities. We identify three main features of university interventions and document their impact on the work and health of academic workers. First, interventions tend to take a \"wellness\" approach, focusing on individual solutions. Second, interventions tend to rely on generic content from corporate and nonprofit organizations to manage faculty mental health. Third, despite messaging that encourages help-seeking, faculty experience pressure to maintain productivity while ill. Drawing on insights from the literature on neoliberal managerialism and the gendered organization of the university, we show how the focus on the generic individual obfuscates the health consequences of rising expectations, high work demands, and the gendered organization of university labor. Meaningful interventions must address workload and work conditions, while considering the health consequences of the gendered organization of university work.</p>","PeriodicalId":45586,"journal":{"name":"New Solutions-A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy","volume":" ","pages":"292-303"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12441212/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Less than a quarter of those who experienced mental health issues took formal leaves of absence because they felt their issues were not severe enough to warrant leave. They were concerned about stigma and the impact that taking a leave would have on their colleagues' workload.

Their research involved conducting interviews that sometimes addressed sensitive or traumatic subjects. Using a public health theoretical framework with inductive thematic analysis of exit interviews and written feedback, we developed guidance for safeguarding the mental health of researchers. Key responsive interventions to address mental health challenges included regular training and check-ins, reducing the frequency of the interviews conducted by trainees and applying strategies to handle the mental health impacts of their content, and proactive workload management. Promising practices emerged, such as establishing a trainee support network and a compendium of resources, integrating debrief time, ensuring clear communication, and adapting expectations and timelines. Recommendations emphasize the importance of responsiveness, collaboration and flexibility, alongside a formalized onboarding process.
