Additional Feedback for College Student Wellbeing:

“The course was interesting not just in content but the flyers and tools were supplied which tied in the content making it easily understood.”
-Candice McLeod
Director of Programs & Volunteers, Resilient Retreat, Florida

"I enjoyed that all the information was cited and based on scientific studies. So often I find "trainings" on emotional health and wellbeing generalized and surface leveled. This was the complete opposite."

"Excellent course. I worked through the material quickly so I can support my staff as they work their way through one chapter a week. I will enjoy repeating the content with them over the next several weeks and discussing how we can implement these tools on our campuses."

“This was a good use of money and time. The training will have a direct, positive impact on how I work with students, improving my ability to help them directly and support other employees as they work with students.”

"This course is helpful for thinking about trauma, before and since the pandemic and provides real tools to help students gain resilience skills. It also highlights actions practitioners can take to care for their own wellbeing to continue being effective while working with students who may be in distress."

“I feel more confident building programs, workshops, and materials to support the academic advising staff on my campus now. We see the burn-out and compassion fatigue among staff, and now I have many tools and knowledge to help those who help students succeed. ”

“I enjoyed the varied activities throughout the course: videos, worksheets, hypothetical scenarios, links to resources, etc. I also thought the course was structured well, with clear objectives and learning outcomes for each chapter. The information I learned was well researched and valuable. As an office manager for a university counseling center, I felt better equipped to support students in crisis and appreciated how the course material was applicable to my everyday work.”

“Comprehensive, relevant, and timely content.”

“This was a great course full of really good information that will help me in my work as a college counselor. I really appreciated the length of the training, as well as the mix of reading, videos, and quizzes.”

“This course gave me the language to use when encountering challenges on my campus. Overall, this all just made sense with what we are seeing on campus. I want everyone to take this course—it is so relevant and helpful to continue navigating our roles as best we can.”

“This is a wonderful course and should be recommended to all staff and faculty on campus. I learned so much about what students, staff, and faculty have gone through and continue to go through on a daily basis. I work with high-concern students and, since COVID, I have seen a big increase in mental health issues with my students. It has also shed some light on what I have been going through and how COVID has affected me in addition to my students. This training has provided me with additional tools not only to help my students but myself as well.”

“The research provided was excellent and the content was presented in a format that was easy to read and absorb. I specifically appreciated the numerous supplemental resources provided throughout the course. It will be great to have these resources to reference as needed in the future. I strongly believe that faculty and staff members working in Higher Education, especially those less familiar with these topics, would find value in this course."

-Kyle McCoil
Assistant Dean of Sophomores, Washington & Lee University, VA

As a college health professional, the information was relevant to conversations and topics currently discussed by ACHA, AUCCCD and among my Ohio Five/ GLCA/ACM peers.

"Great opportunity for professional development and continuing education in higher education. It will help you in so many ways! 100% recommend"

“I think this is a great course. It brought student demographics and the common challenges they face to the forefront and provided a broad scope of information about trauma and resilience. Additionally, I wish I’d learned about compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma much, much earlier in my career. These areas must be adequately addressed in undergraduate programs or we will lose good people in the helping professions.”

“I found learning about the various resiliency strategies and skills that I can teach to my students very helpful. I shared my positive experiences regarding the course with my colleagues and they would like to complete it as well.”

“I really appreciate the array of images used for each chapter, that aligned with the topics covered. I found myself saving different resources (pdfs, images) of elements discussed throughout the course. I’ve saved the items to a folder and printed the images on my office door. The relevancy of the materials, along with the citations really helped to ensure I was learning timely information. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the different scenarios presented with the diversity of racial demographics. Overall, I learned a great deal and have begun using what I learned in my role.”
