Learn about the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges, appropriate interventions and referrals, ways to provide initial help and obtain a three-year certification. This is a follow-up to the session on Working with Distressed Students (2018 Provost’s Diversity Institute for Faculty Development).

Lunch will be provided on Thursday and breakfast on Friday. This event is co-sponsored with the Wellness Center.
