  4. What is my institution’s understanding of how to use inclusive language, specifically within policies?



  5. What do I notice when I examine mental health policies and compare them to policies that impact mental health?



  6. What existing policies are in alignment with the pillars of the Standard?



  7. What are some overlooked areas in which policies make a difference to students’ mental health?
