Supporting Students In Distress

As staff and faculty, you are often the first to recognize that a student is in distress so it is important that you feel equipped to identify these behaviours and also understand how you can help.  The Supporting Students in Distress Guide and accompanying workshop outline the various levels of distress and the resources you can provide for a student in each level of distress. \

The workshop will help participants:

• Explore some of the key guidelines on how to observe, engage and refer students in distress;
• Identify specific strategies on how to begin and manage challenging conversations with students who may be in distress;
• Locate some of the main resources—academic, safety and health and wellness—at the University and the wider community;
• Adapt self-care strategies for managing students in distress.

Registration is required, session delivered via Zoom.
