Solve a problem hidden in your most productive students

They’re easy to spot. The student government president with the 4.0 G.P.A.. The R.A. who also edits the campus newspaper. The student active in campus ministry who spends weekends volunteering at a clinic. On the surface they look invincible. Deep down they could be close to a breakdown.

Students leaders are not immune to stress or mental difficulties. Though they’re usually better equipped to handle the rigors of college life, they sometimes pile on more responsibilities and don’t allow themselves desperately needed downtime. Often advisors don’t see anything wrong until it’s too late. Staff need to recognize the signs of a struggling star student, be aware of the additional stressors an organization might provide and intervene before the student leader has a real crisis.

This online seminar will give you all the tools necessary to keep student leaders on the right track.
• Understand the risks of emotional and mental crises
• Recognize the problem signs
• Know what to do when a student leader needs help
• Intervention and postvention techniques
• Re-evaluate demands, offers and expectations placed on student leaders
• Help student organizations deal with a leader’s absence
• Create a comprehensive plan to prevent “leader over-load”

You'll hear from three education experts with ground level experience in student affairs, psychology and organizational development. Lee Williams Ph. D, is Vice President and Dean of Students at Wheaton College. She has an extensive background in student affairs and counseling. Barry Schreier, Ph.D. is a licensed Psychologist and Director of Counseling and Mental Health Services at the University of Connecticut. He is a widely published author on the topic of counseling and has served on the boards of several national psychology training organizations. Christine Wilson, Ph.D. is Associate Dean of Students and Director of Student Activities at the University of Connecticut. She’s a respected consultant to colleges throughout the country, specializing in leadership and organizational development.
