This week I am providing follow up information from Janelle Patrais regarding her March 1 CNS MTI workshop titled Notice and Respond: Assisting Students in Distress. Have a great spring break.

Hello everyone,

Grateful to have time with you today.  As promised, attached is a copy of the slides.

Also included are a couple of choices of slides you could use in a class setting or print for reference etc. Below is the blurb that can easily be added to your syllabus regarding mental health (sorry I forgot to mention this earlier today). Feel free to share this and the attached slides with colleagues:

CSU Has Resources to Help

Many of us are struggling. CSU is a community that cares. You are not alone. CSU Health Network Counseling Services has trained professionals who can help. Your student fees provide access to a wide range of support services. Call Counseling Services at (970) 491-6053, and they will work together with you to find out which services are right for you. Visit https://health.colostate.edu/about-counseling-services to learn more and https://health.colostate.edu/mental-health-resources/ for additional student mental health and well-being resources. If you are concerned about a friend or peer, use Tell Someone by calling (970) 491-1350 or visiting https://supportandsafety.colostate.edu/tell-someone/ to share your concerns with a professional who can discreetly connect the distressed individual with the proper resources. Rams Take Care of Rams. Reach out and ask for help if you or someone you know if having a difficult time.

Below is a list of helpful links you might find useful. Some I referenced, others I did not, but it’s nice to have everything in one place. Noted are a couple of useful videos as well. Let me know if you have questions about any of it. The videos I showed you’ll find noted below.
