Dear Faculty and Staff,
Consistent with our university's mission to create a safe and healthy environment for all students, faculty, and staff, we are piloting an online interactive course, At-Risk, which engages learners in simulated practice conversations with virtual, fully animated students who show signs of depression, anxiety, and thoughts of suicide. In this course, you will:
- Learn common indicators of psychological distress
- Practice approaching students
- Practice referring students to the Counseling Center
The training is 45-minutes long and can be completed in multiple sittings. Thank you for your participation.
