Attention all faculty and student facing staff!


Join Dr. Catharine Munn, lead author of the Responding to Students in Distress & Difficulty (RSDD) protocol, on Tuesday September 24th from 12:30-1:30 p.m. for a FREE 1-hour webinar on how to use the Responding to Students in Distress & Difficulty (RSDD) protocol.


The RSDD protocol was developed to guide student-facing staff and faculty on how to recognize and reach out to students in distress or difficulty and connect students with appropriate resources and support.


Within the RSDD protocol are six steps designed to navigate your interaction with students: Recognize, Reach Out, Rate, Respond, Review, and Reflect. Through the protocol, you will learn indicators to watch out for which may indicate a mental health challenge, as well as who to connect a student with to provide them with the most helpful support in that moment.
