1 Friday, June 6 from 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. (including a 1-hour lunch break) via Zoom

Our students are experiencing increased rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health related concerns. This 1-day, 8-hour introductory workshop provides faculty with 1) a greater awareness of the impact of mental health, including learning to recognize the signs and symptoms of when someone is in emotional distress/crisis or is suicidal; 2) an increase in self-confidence when providing support to someone in emotional distress/crisis; 3) an understanding of the signs and symptoms of secondary/vicarious trauma; 4) skills to set boundaries; and 5) an opportunity to develop a self-care plan of action.

Steven Martel, Counseling Chair, will lead participants through these three collaborative sessions. Participants will not be expected to complete outside work. However, a stipend will be available only to faculty who choose to complete a final project after the session.

12 seats: Register to receive Zoom link
10 PD Hours and $300 stipend available to eligible faculty who attend the workshop and choose to complete a final project.

Open to faculty and staff. If you’d like more information about this offering, please reach out to Steven Martel, Counseling.
