All SUNYIT faculty are invited to attend a training provided by our SUNYIT Mental Health Counselors and SUNYIT's Disability Coordinator addressing factors that cause or contribute to students in distress. We will discuss how to identify the signs of distress, what you as a faculty member can do to de-escalate such a situation, and how to refer a student to the counseling center on campus.
