UPCOMING:
Feb. 24:Â Â Recognizing and Effectively Responding to Students in Distress
We will review signs of student distress, the language we can use to approach these students, and effective ways to connect students to appropriate support services.
March 3: What Happened to You? Â
Students who have experienced trauma often present with perplexing patterns of behavior, including having trouble regulating emotions, problematic relationship patterns (including with professors), hyper-sensitivity, executive functioning issues, and more. It is helpful to consider these students with a mindset of “What happened to you” rather than “What is wrong with you?!”
RESOURCES AVAILABLE:
“Getting to Calm” was held on February 17.
Many of our students experience chronic anxiety, racing thoughts, insomnia, and panic.  Learn practical and accessible tools to teach your students how to calm their mind and body. A link to the recording will be available on the Remote Delivery Resources site soon!
