Faculty are often among the first to notice when a student is struggling, but knowing how to respond can feel overwhelming. This interactive session will provide practical guidance on recognizing common signs of student distress, responding with confidence and compassion, and connecting students with appropriate campus resources. We’ll also share current trends we’re seeing in the Student Wellness & Counseling Center, discuss effective classroom strategies that foster student well-being, and clarify how faculty can support students while maintaining healthy boundaries. Participants will leave with practical tools and greater confidence in helping students thrive both academically and personally.
