Supporting Students in Distress
The Supporting Students in Distress workshop is intended to help staff and faculty identify a student in distress and to be aware of the steps that can be taken to connect a student to support.
Please note that any members of the Carleton community who are concerned about a student can submit a Care Report through Wellness Services.
