The study addresses how student mental health needs shape outcomes for the affected student, peers in the program, and the instructors responsible for support.

To date, little is known about the role mental health issues play in study abroad courses, including the implications for student affairs practice. This study examines the role of mental health issues in faculty-led short-term study abroad courses, from the perspective of the faculty instructors. Findings from this study provide a nuanced understanding of how student mental health issues shape study abroad experiences for the student experiencing mental health issues abroad, other students, and the faculty instructors.  \nPlease direct inquires about this manuscript to: Kaleb Briscoe, [kbriscoe@colled.msstate.edu](kbriscoe@colled.msstate.edu)  \nCollege Student Affairs Journal, Volume 38(2), pp. 143-156 ISSN 2381-2338  \nCopyright 2020 Southern Association for College Student Affairs All rights of reproduction in any form reserved.  \n144 College Student Affairs Journal Vol. 38, No. 2, 2020  \nAs higher education institutions seek to  \nincrease the number of students par  \nticipating in study abroad (American Council on Education, 2017), faculty-led, short-term study abroad (FLSTSA) courses are becoming increasingly popular (Institute for International Education [IIE], 2018; Tuma, 2007) . According to recent data from the IIE (2018), 65% of U.S. students who study abroad do so through short-term programs. The majority of short-term programs are courses led by individual faculty members who take a group of students, often from the same home institution, abroad fora relatively short period of time and focus on specific course-based learning objectives (Forum on Education Abroad, 2011; Tuma, 2007) .  \nWith the popularity of FLSTSA courses, greater attention needs to be paid to how institutions can continue to provide the level of support services students typically have access to on campus, often provided by student affairs professionals. This is particularly true with regard to mental health services. The American College Health Association (ACHA, 2015) estimated that at least one in four students experiences some sort of mental health challenge during college. These mental health issues cannot be put on hold while students are abroad, and yet the traditional support systems available on campus (e.g., counselors, resident assistants, and advisors) are generally not present on short-term study abroad courses. Instead, faculty members leading these courses are responsible not only for teaching, but also for ensuring students’ physical and mental health while abroad (Goode, 2007) .  \nDespite the fact that students’ mental health needs do not stop at the U.S. border, little is known about how mental health issues are playing out in short-term study abroad courses. In order for student affairs professionals to provide the resources that both students and faculty members need to support students’ mental health, they must first understand what is happening while  \nstudents are abroad and the role that mental health issues have in the experiences of those involved. As such, the purpose of this study is to examine the role of mental health issues in FLSTSA courses from the perspective of the faculty instructors.  \nStudents’ Experiences with Study Abroad and Mental Health  \nCollege students’ mental health issues are becoming increasingly prevalent in short-term study abroad courses (Bathke & Kim, 2016; Prince, 2015) . Additionally, there has been an increase in the number of students seeking assistance and the severity of mental health issues (Holm-Hadulla & Koutsoukou-Argyraki, 2015) .
