Recognizing, Responding and Supporting Learners in Distress

Faculty and staff are well-positioned to recognize behaviour that may indicate that a learner is in distress and may require support. Being able to recognize the signs of distress and make appropriate referrals are critical first steps in referring a learner for support.  

As such, Student Wellness and Equitable Learning is excited to share an updated version of the ‘Yellow Folder’. Recognizing, Responding and Supporting Learners in Distress will help you take steps to support learners experiencing difficulty, provide referrals to resources, as well as tips for taking care of yourself.
