2. Know a student in crisis? Here's how to help!
Help create a Community of Care at BGSU and make sure no Falcon struggles unnoticed and alone! Start the Conversation is a collaborative training offered by the Counseling Center and the Humanities Troupe from the Department of Theatre and Film. In the training, you will learn how to contribute to a community of care, how to identify the warning signs of people who may be struggling, and how to help (including suicide prevention strategies). Simple expressions of care are powerful, and you can make a difference in someone's life!
The next training is Tuesday, Sept. 7, from 10 to 11:30 a.m., BTSU 316. Register to learn more about how you can help create a community of care at BGSU!
3. New University Policy 3341-2-49 Anti-Hazing Policy
