Empowering Faculty in Supporting Student Mental Health, Part 1: Red Folder – Identifying Students in Distress

The Red Folder, created by Student Counseling Services, is inspired by similar initiatives in California universities. It equips faculty and staff with tools and knowledge to identify signs of student distress and take appropriate actions. It includes vital information, protocols, strategies, and resources to help faculty and staff respond effectively to students in need. 

This training will help you to: 

• Identify common signs of student distress. 
• Respond to students with empathy and understanding. 
• Use the Red Folder as a resource for protocols, strategies, and resources. 
• Connect students with appropriate help and support.
