The Center for Well-Being invites you to a special faculty workshop, “Responding to Student Distress,” taking place on Monday, October 13th, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM in G302.
This interactive session is designed to equip faculty with practical tools for supporting students in distress. Topics will include:
- The critical role of faculty in student well-being (support and referral—not counseling)
- Empathy and active listening: how to respond without judgment and validate student feelings
- Encouraging students to seek help: normalizing help-seeking, and offering appropriate encouragement
- Sharing information about campus resources and knowing when/how to refer or escalate concerns
- Setting healthy boundaries and practicing self-care as faculty after challenging conversations
