Helping a Student In Distress
Kognito
Kognito is an interactive, and research-proven training simulations are designed to educate faculty, staff, and students about best practices in supporting:
- Students who struggle with psychological distress including depression and suicidal ideation;
- LGBTQ students who are struggling due to harassment or exclusion;
- Student veterans who are facing challenges in adjusting to college life.
Each training takes 30-60 minutes to complete and is structured as a virtual practice environment where users learn by engaging in interactive role-play conversations with emotionally responsive student avatars. Access to these trainings are available at no-cost to all California community college faculty, staff, and students.
