Students in Crisis: How Can I Help?
According to recent data, nearly 50% of college students report feeling so depressed that it is difficult to function, and 10% say they have seriously considered suicide in the past year. As faculty and staff members, you play a vital role in helping to identify these at-risk students so that they can get the support they need. In an effort to do this effectively, the College is taking part in a pilot program that gives faculty and staff the opportunity to engage in simulated conversations with students who show symptoms of depression, anxiety, paranoia, or thoughts of suicide. By taking part in this program, you can expect to gain awareness and confidence when faced with actual students exhibiting these symptoms. If you are interested in participating, please send an email to Marco Dinovelli for further information and a login.
