The state of students’ mental health continues to weigh heavily on the minds of faculty, staff, and administrators. Their frequent interaction with students also puts them in an ideal position to observe changes in students’ behavior, physical and emotional presentation, and academic performance. This “ideal position” allows for faculty and staff to engage in early intervention and referral to ensure student safety and success.
What are the warning signs of distress?
How do you initiate a conversation with students when you are concerned?
Join us for a live, interactive webinar on January 20, 2022, when our expert presenter will offer crucial, actionable takeaways on recognizing warning signs of distress and concerning behaviors when teaching either in person or online, heightened risk factors during COVID-19, and practical suggestions and tangible examples of how to initiate conversations with students of concern.
