Safety Tip of the Week

Helping Students in Distress

Faculty and staff are often able to recognize when a student is struggling, but it can be hard to know what to say or do.

To ensure students get the support they need, Student Affairs created a comprehensive guide that faculty and staff can reference when they’re concerned about a student. The guide covers how to recognize common signs of distress, helpful ways to respond to a student, campus and community support resources, and reporting options.

Each WSU location has a guide with specific campus and community resources. If you want to print or save a PDF guide, click on your WSU location.

For more safety information, contact Environmental Health and Safety at ehs@wsu.edu.
