Students today face increasing pressures that can lead to emotional distress, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and even thoughts of suicide. As faculty and staff, we can take small steps that make a big difference. MSU has adopted an online conversation simulation program, Kognito for Faculty & Staff, to help us learn to notice signs of distress, use techniques to discuss our concerns, and, if necessary, refer students to appropriate resources. Please join us for this two-part training. 

Access Instructions to Part 1 (Simulation) HERE.

Register below for Part 2 (Discussion) on January 5, 2021 from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm with Dr. Sheila Marquardt
