While counseling services are key to helping support our students with mental health needs, our campus community plays a critical role in overall student wellness. Because of the increasing prevalence of mental health struggles, student success is increasingly affected. C.A.L.M. in Crisis helps our campus community build skills and improve awareness of the risk factors and warning signs for suicide, how to recognize and respond when they occur, when and how to refer to available resources, ways to offer hope, and the importance of managing personal wellness throughout the process. Participation in the training is how we can help align our various roles on campus to bring evidence-based interventions to our ongoing support of student well-being.
This is a two-part training requires completion of an online component, Training Camp, as well as an in-person component. Training Camp must be completed in Northwest Online within two weeks of the in-person training date you select. Access Training Camp will be provided via email two weeks prior to the in-person training.
The course is organized around the acronym C.A.L.M.
C– Create Awareness
A – Ask Question
L – Learn Resources
M – Manage Your Wellness
Content includes a brief overview of mental health concerns on campus as well as a breakdown of each component of the C.A.L.M. acronym. After completion of both training components, attendees will be emailed a certificate of completion.
