Details
Beyond the Books is a training that will provide participants with general information on the prevalence of mental challenges and illness, help participants to identify signs of troubling behaviour, and give them skills to engage in a preliminary discussion to determine if referral to a professional is necessary, all within the U of G context.
Participants will also learn how and where to refer appropriately in a compassionate and effective manner. This session is recommended for both staff/faculty who work closely with others regularly, as well as staff/faculty who do not have ongoing relationships with individuals but whose roles are such that they may have one-off, in-depth conversations. Instructors are qualified from the Wellness Education & Promotion Centre.
