<Title>Join our new RIO workshops!</Title>
<Tagline>For increased psychological well-being and resilience!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>The Counseling Center is excited to announce a new workshop series called RIO (Recognition, Insight, Openness).  These workshops are FREE and open to all UMBC Students. <strong>You do NOT need to be a Counseling Center client to join!</strong></div><div><br></div>We hope students will find RIO helpful in learning to recognize and better manage daily concerns. Many people pursue therapy with the idea that their therapist will know exactly how to “fix” them. <span>RIO is specifically designed to help you get a better idea of what you want to change and how to get there. RIO consists of </span><strong>3 weekly seminars.</strong><span> In order to get the most out of the series, it is important to complete all 3 seminars in addition to the reading and exercises in this workbook. </span><div><br><div>The main goals of RIO are to give you tools to recognize your concerns and to develop a clearer idea of what you want to change in your life. Once you have developed your roadmap to change, you will have a better idea of where you need to go. You may decide to continue on your own or enlist other resources such as friends, family, advisors, professors, or professionals to help you reach your goals. Another goal of these workshops is to help students learn new and flexible strategies to deal with emotional pain other than avoidance. It is our hope that students will complete the series with new "tools" in their psychological "toolbox," a higher level of self-understanding, and increased resilience. <span> </span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span><strong>The next RIO workshop series begins on February 24th at 4pm in Commons 328. </strong>Subsequent sessions will follow weekly on March 2nd and March 9th at 4pm. <br><br><strong><em>To sign up for this series</em></strong>, fill out this form: <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/umbc.edu/forms/d/1spxz4R3AVbNYDpqu7wOGrNeM8HBfnfW_7tm1ijS8PeY/viewform" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://docs.google.com/a/umbc.edu/forms/d/1spxz4R3AVbNYDpqu7wOGrNeM8HBfnfW_7tm1ijS8PeY/viewform</a><br><br><br>We will contact you to confirm that we have received your enrollment. </span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span> For more information about or to sign up for RIO workshops, contact: Melissa Lean(<a href="mailto:mlean@umbc.edu">mlean@umbc.edu</a>) or Tymesha Pendleton(<a href="mailto:tpendlet@umbc.edu">tpendlet@umbc.edu</a>)</span></div></div></div>

<Title>Free mental health trainings for faculty, staff, &amp; students</Title>
<Tagline>Interactive online games to help you help others!</Tagline>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">The Counseling Center offers free online games to help train students and faculty/staff on intervening with students who are experiencing distress. These programs, through Kognito, are offered in six unique modules. Each of the modules can be accessed at the following link:<a href="https://md.kognito.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://md.kognito.com/</a><br><br>The modules are described below: <br><div><br></div><div><div><strong><u>For Faculty/Staff:</u></strong></div><div><strong><br></strong></div><div><strong>Working with LGBTQ Students on Campus: </strong></div><span>LGBTQ students face many challenges transitioning to college life. They are at a higher risk of discrimination as well as psychological distress, including suicidal ideation, than their heterosexual peers. They may feel less willing to participate in classroom discussions, especially if no one is willing to speak out against any harassment or bias. The first step towards developing a safe and inclusive environment is the education of the staff and faculty that they will be looking up to for the next few years of their lives.</span><br><span>This online simulation helps build a community of respect, inclusion, and support for LGBTQ students. In this 30-minute interactive role-play course, you will learn how to address discriminatory language, talk to a student who chooses to discuss their LGBTQ identity, identify when a student may be distressed, and refer them to support</span><br><div><span><strong>Working with Veterans:</strong></span></div><div><span>Our college community is becoming increasingly aware of the unique challenges facing student veterans in their difficult transition to civilian life. While the VA has developed some preventative measures over the last several years, we have still seen an increase in suicide and at-risk behavior among veterans.</span><br><span>To address this concern, this an online training simulation will help all of us to better support our student veterans. In this 30-minute course, you will learn about common transitional stressors that a student veteran may experience, what resources are available on-campus for student veterans, and how to help a student veteran who’s struggling.</span><br><div><span><strong>Working with general students in distress or at-risk: </strong></span></div></div><div><span>Our college community is becoming increasingly aware of the amount of stress our students are experiencing and the negative impact it can have on their health and academic performance. Studies have shown a 20% increase in college stress over the last 5 years, with 44% of students experiencing periods of severe distress.</span><br><span>This online training will help faculty and staff to better identify, support, and refer these students to support services on campus. Through these courses, you will learn how to identify signs of psychological distress and refer students to support services through practiced interaction with virtual students.</span></div></div><div><strong><u><br></u></strong></div><div><strong><u>For Students:</u></strong></div><div><div><strong>Supporting LGBTQ Students on Campus: </strong></div><span>An online conversation game that will assist you in learning about the challenges faced by LGBTQ students. Through practiced conversations with virtual students, you will learn how to create a safe and supportive space for all students and identify what support services are available on your campus.</span><br><div><span><strong>Supporting peers who are Veterans:</strong></span></div><div><span>A unique, game-based, online training, lets you interact with virtual student veterans to learn tactics for identifying signs of distress in your peers, reaching out to fellow vets you are worried about, and referring friends to available support services.</span><br><div><span><strong>Helping fellow students who are in distress</strong></span></div></div><div><span>A game-based simulation where you will learn how to recognize the signs of distress, approach a friend you're worried about, and determine where you and your friend can turn for help.</span></div></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>If you are interested in assigning a module to a student or staff group, the Counseling Center is happy and willing to facilitate a follow-up discussion with the group. Contact Bruce Herman, 410-455-2472 for more information. </span></div><div><strong><u><br></u></strong></div><div><br></div></div>
