Working with Graduate Students of Concern

As advisors, we are accustomed to working with students experiencing stress and anxiety, but in some cases these are early indicators that a student is heading into a crisis. To assist our students in maintaining their overall wellness and maximizing their growth and development, it is important to identify difficulties as early as possible. This session will help participants recognize what it means to be a graduate student of concern, explore their thoughts and feelings about working with graduate students of concern, and identify strategies and campus resources to assist graduate students of concern.
