Details
Beyond the Books is a live, virtual session that will first provide participants with general information on the prevalence of mental challenges and illness. It will then help participants to identify signs of troubling behaviour and give them skills to engage in a preliminary discussion to determine if referral to a professional is necessary. Participants will also learn how and where to refer appropriately in a compassionate and effective manner. This session is recommended for individuals who may be in positions to see behaviour and have conversations with students, but have no responsibility for the individuals, nor involved in regularly addressing mental health issues. Examples include: Custodians, Hospitality Staff, Instructors (Faculty, TA’s, and Sessionals), Administrative Assistants, Residence Desk Staff and Porters.
Register on GryphLife and you will be invited to a meeting on January 28th between 10 – 11:30 AM
