Training for Staff and Students

More Feet on the Ground

More Feet on the Ground is a free 20 minute-online course aimed at campus staff (and students)
to learn mental health literacy and increase their confidence in supporting campus members (staff, students, faculty, etc.) living with mental health concerns. Specifically, the course aims to teach learners how to RECOGNIZE indicators that someone may be experiencing mental health concerns; RESPOND appropriately to someone who needs support, based on the indicators present and your relationship with them; REFER someone to mental health supports and services in an appropriate way; and describe best practices for reflecting after interacting with someone who may be upset or distressed.

Recommendation

Engage in ongoing staff/faculty training on this topic to increase competency and confidence when confronting these challenging issues.
