This session provides an overview of recognizing and responding to student mental health concerns. The session aims to assist in participants’ efforts to respond to distressed or distressing students, as all members of the GW community play a central role in student help-seeking efforts. Although participants are never expected to provide counseling, it can be helpful to understand the critical role each member of our campus community can play in responding to student problems, be familiar with the signs that indicate a student is in need of help / support, and understand the steps in making appropriate referrals. This session will specifically distinguish between students struggling with the following: anxiety, depression, suicidality, poor contact with reality, substance abuse, eating disorders, or who may present as aggressive or violent. Faculty and staff are encouraged to attend this session before attending Part II: Practical Applications.
