Student Counseling Services invites faculty and staff to participate in Recognize. Respond. Refer., a campus-wide series designed to support your ongoing efforts in promoting student well-being. This three-part series offers approachable, practical strategies to help you identify signs of student distress, respond with care and confidence, and connect students to helpful campus resources. You don’t need to be a mental health expert to make a meaningful difference. While attending all sessions is not required, participating in the full series can deepen your comfort and capacity in supporting the diverse mental health needs of our campus community.Registration is required for each session you wish to attend.Adapted by Student Counseling Services and inspired by similar initiatives at other universities, the Red Folder is a quick-reference resource designed to help faculty and staff recognize when a student may be struggling and feel confident in taking supportive action. This session introduces key behavioral indicators, compassionate ways to check in, and how to use the Red Folder to connect students with the help they need.

Test Anxiety is common to many students. While everyone feels some degree of anxiety during tests or exams, it becomes an issue when anxiety makes you feel anxious, ill, or develop brain freeze during an exam or test. This interactive workshop will explore the issue of anxiety from the students’ perspectives, what it is, and how to overcome it. Call 309-438-7100 or stop by the Visor Center to sign up!
