Baruch’s Suicide Prevention Task Force, which was recently charged by President S. David Wu, would like to share an important new training resource that is now available for all staff and faculty through December 31, 2021.

Are You Worried About a Student?

College students today face increasing pressures that can lead to emotional distress, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and even thoughts of suicide. Research shows that depressed and anxious students are more likely to be absent, take semesters off, or drop out of college. As faculty and staff, we can take small steps that make a big difference.

Through CARES Act funding, CUNY has adopted an online, free, interactive training—At-Risk for Faculty and Staff—to help you notice signs of student distress, use techniques to discuss your concerns, and, if necessary, refer students to appropriate resources. At-Risk for Faculty and Staff lets you practice these challenging conversations at your own pace through roleplay with virtual students and helps you build confidence to talk with students you are concerned about. Typical completion time is 30–40 minutes, and your progress across the training is saved so you can complete it in multiple sessions.

To access this simulated training:

1. Visit CUNY’s Kognito site
2. Log in or create a new account
3. Use enrollment key: baruchcaruf
4. Launch At-Risk for Faculty and Staff

• Access the presentation slides

If you have any questions about the training, please don’t hesitate to contact Glenn.Albright@baruch.cuny.edu or Teresa.Hurst@baruch.cuny.edu.
