The UMB Student Counseling Center will be hosting the final Assisting Students in Distress, Red Folder Training for this academic year on Monday, May 1, at 12 p.m. This is a 90-minute virtual training session, facilitated by Dr. Jenna Silverman, executive director of the Student Counseling Center.
In this training, faculty and staff will learn how to assist students who may be experiencing mental health issues. Participants will be introduced to a practical tool called the “Assisting Students in Distress Folder.” This folder serves as a quick reference guide and contains information on how to recognize symptoms, respond to students, and refer them for therapy or other immediate help.
This training offers a digital badge, through the Learning Institute.
