Student Mental Health and CARE Reports Webinar<\/a><\/strong><\/span> (August 2020, duration:\u00a0 14:55)
\nThis session will help you get ready to teach your first classes at Clemson by introducing new instructors to the CARE Network at Clemson and will overview resources to support student well-being.\u00a0\u00a0The CARE Network is designed to be one of the ways to help connect current students with the resources to help support them. A CARE Network\u00a0referral can include, but are not limited to:\u00a0Academic Concerns,\u00a0Adjustment Issues,\u00a0Behavioral Concerns,\u00a0Career or Graduation,\u00a0Death or Grief,\u00a0Financial,\u00a0Personal Health or Wellness,\u00a0Relationships or Student Engagement, and\u00a0Other Concerns.<\/p>\nPresenter:
\nAlanna Landreth, Assistant Director, Office of Advocacy and Success (OAS)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nCollege years are characterized by multiple transitions. Stress is a normal and expected reaction to these transitions. Students may experience stress associated with academic demands, family problems, social relations, work, financial concerns, and cultural experiences. Resources that students had while living at home are altered and they may find themselves isolated, lonely, and frustrated. While most students face stress and cope with the emerging demands of college life, for some, the pressures become overwhelming and unmanageable. The inability to cope effectively with emotional distress can lead to disruptions in a student\u2019s overall functioning and pose a serious threat to academic success. As a community of faculty, staff, and students we are in a unique position to show concern and care. Proactive, timely, and at times reactive expressions of concern can be helpful in regulating and maintaining the emotional equilibrium that can lead to a successful college career for our students.<\/p>\n
Faculty, teaching assistants, University staff members, and fellow students often become concerned about students who suddenly stop attending their classes or other campus activities, miss an exam, stop responding to emails, or otherwise exhibit changes in behavior. \u00a0The purpose of this guidance is to provide information that will assist in identifying students in distress and specific options for intervention and for referral to campus resources.\u00a0 This guide outlines three Rs to help navigate courses of action in potential situations of student distress: RECOGNIZE<\/strong>, RESPOND<\/strong>,\u00a0and RESOURCES<\/strong>. \u00a0This guide emphasizes the difference between an emergency and non-emergency situation.\u00a0 Both situations require attention.\u00a0 We encourage you to follow this process to support the health and safety of our students.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nRECOGNIZE<\/strong><\/h2>\n
EMERGENCY.\u00a0 RECOGNIZE a Serious Mental Health Crisis<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n
A crisis is a situation where a student\u2019s usual coping style becomes overwhelmed and the emotional and physiological responses escalate. With increasing emotions, coping becomes less effective until the person may become disoriented, non-functional, or attempt harm. If a student is in serious mental health crisis, one might see the following:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Highly disruptive behavior (physical\/verbal aggression)<\/li>\n
- Overt suicidal threats (written or verbal, suicide attempt)<\/li>\n
- Homicidal threats (written or verbal, assault)<\/li>\n
- Inability to communicate clearly (incoherent, garbled, slurred speech)<\/li>\n
- Loss of contact with reality (seeing\/hearing things that are not there, paranoia)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
NON-EMERGENCY.\u00a0 RECOGNIZE Students in Distress<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n
Everyone experiences symptoms of distress at one time or another; however, if symptoms persist over time and\/or increase in severity, this may indicate need for assistance.\u00a0 A non-emergency may turn into an emergency.<\/p>\n
Marked Changes in Attitude towards Academic Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- Poor preparation for class<\/li>\n
- Drop in performance<\/li>\n
- Expressions of non-caring about classes<\/li>\n
- Excessive absences or tardiness to class<\/li>\n
- Excessive anxiety about class work<\/li>\n
- Strong reactions to class material<\/li>\n
- Exaggerated emotional responses that are obviously inappropriate to the situation<\/li>\n
- Exaggerated need to oppose the teaching or discussions<\/li>\n
- Inability to communicate clearly<\/li>\n
- Perfectionism and excessive worry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Changes in Behavior<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- Depressed or lethargic mood<\/li>\n
- Avoiding participation in class activities<\/li>\n
- Unusual or changed pattern of interaction with others<\/li>\n
- Apathy or \u201cin a daze\u201d<\/li>\n
- Oversleeping or not sleeping enough<\/li>\n
- Disruptive behavior<\/li>\n
- Consistently avoiding eating with others<\/li>\n
- Marked increase or decrease in energy level<\/li>\n
- Marked increase in irritability<\/li>\n
- Low tolerance for frustration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Unusual Appearance<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- Changes in personal hygiene or dress style<\/li>\n
- Dramatic weight loss or gain<\/li>\n
- Swollen or red eyes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
\nRESPOND<\/strong><\/h2>\n
RESPOND Immediately to an Emergency Situation.\u00a0 This is a Serious Mental Health Crisis<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n
If there is immediate concern for a student\u2019s health and safety or the safety of others, contact 911 or the Clemson University Police Department (CUPD) 864-656-2222 for immediate on-site assistance.<\/p>\n
