Have you interacted with a student that you were especially concerned about, but you didn’t quite know what to say, who to tell, or what to do? Perhaps the student confided in you about a serious personal issue, said something that led you to worry about them, or acted in a way that concerned you.
The Dean of Students Office invites all faculty and staff to attend a workshop that can help: “Support U: Fostering a Culture of Support at UWM.”
You’ll learn tools to identify and support students who may be experiencing challenges or crises. You’ll also learn about how to make referrals, seek assistance and connect students to case managers in the Dean of Students Office, as well as campus and community resources.
The workshop is especially useful for employees newer to UWM or those wanting to learn more about the support function in the Dean of Students Office.
The next workshops are scheduled:
- Wednesday, Oct. 22, 9:30-11:30 a.m. in the Student Union, Room 240
- Wednesday, Nov. 12, 1:30-3:30 p.m. in the Student Union, Room 240
