The Elm

In this training, UMB faculty and staff will learn how to assist students who may be experiencing a mental health challenge. Led by Jenna Silverman, PhD, executive director of the UMB Student Counseling Center and Educational Support and Disability Services, participants will be introduced to a practical tool called the “Assisting Students in Distress Folder.”

This folder contains a quick reference guide that helps identify common signs of student distress and directs faculty and staff through campus protocol to clarify whom they should contact in the event of an emergency. The folder also provides tips for how to approach a student who may be in distress and resources on campus and off campus. 

Register for this virtual training at 2 p.m. May 19.
