Assisting Students in Distress
College students may encounter a variety of problems related to learning, emotions, social relationships, or substance abuse. Sometimes it may be difficult to know what is affecting a student's academic performance. The focus would be to discuss some of the common concerns that students face and focus on skills for recognizing problems and helping students. Skills include awareness, listening, problem-solving, maintaining healthy student / teacher relationship boundaries, and referral. Campus resources which can support you will also be discussed.
