About

This suite of five online, interactive, and research-proven training simulations are designed to educate our faculty, staff, and students about best practices in supporting

  • Students who struggle with psychological distress including depression and suicidal ideation,
  • Creating an inclusive work environment in which LGBTQ clients and staff feel safe, valued, and respected
  • Student veterans who are facing challenges in adjusting to college life.
Each training takes 30-60 minutes to complete and is structured as a virtual practice environment where users learn by engaging in interactive role-play conversations with emotionally responsive student avatars. The suite is available at no-cost to all California community college faculty, staff, and students.*

Please note: the courses refer to the office where students can seek mental health services as the "Counseling Center." At your school this may be located elsewhere; specific referral information for your college can be found by clicking the "Local Resources" button within the training.
