Interactive Training Scenarios for Resident Advisors

If there’s one thing you hope for all your new RAs, it’s that they won’t endure a “deer in the headlights” moment … a situation that leaves them frozen from fear, without a strategy for dealing with the moment.

They’re the first line of defense in the event of a crisis on their floor, and you want them to know how to respond.

Handbooks and manuals are an option, but theory will only take RAs so far.

A better way to prepare them is through scenario-based training, where they can act out and practice situations in a controlled, supervised environment.

Brian Van Brunt, Ed.D., takes you through scenario-based training in ten critical areas every RA must be prepared to handle.

During this 90-minute presentation, Dr. Van Brunt uses role-playing activities to show how to train RAs to respond to:

• Drinking and substance abuse
• Homesickness/Overinvolved parents
• General rule enforcement
• Suicide/depression/self-injury
• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Academic support and study habits
• Roommate conflicts
• Eating disorders
• Aggression and violence
• “Wild cards” – the unexpected

Who should view this seminar?

• Housing administrators
• Resident directors
• Housing front office staff

CD Bonus! RA training tool
CD purchases include RACE! (Resident Advisor Card Exercise), an interactive, scenario-based game that lets RAs take a “dry run” through 50 different situations they may encounter.

The game–and scenario-based training generally–is an effective way to build competence and confidence among your new RAs, and prepare them to carry out their responsibilities from the very first day of school.
