Faculty/staff guide for helping students in distress
Faculty and staff are often able to recognize when a student is struggling, but it can be hard to know what to say or do.
To ensure students get the support they need, Student Affairs created a comprehensive guide that faculty and staff can reference when they’re concerned about a student.
