GUIDE Empathy Training: Conversations You’ll Feel Good About
March 4 at 8:30 am
GUIDE (Guiding Universities in Demonstrating Empathy) is an empathic communications training to empower educators to conduct effective student support conversations — and to identify and engage the appropriate college services when needed.
Faculty and staff participating in this one-time, three-hour training will:
Learn how to identify & contextualize student needs. –
Participate in an iterative, supportive feedback process designed to prepare for challenging interactions with distressed students. –
Test, explore, and refine empathic communication skills. – Learn how to integrate GUIDE into your class and work with students.
GUIDE is NOT meant to prepare faculty to be mental health practitioners. GUIDE WILL help faculty participants understand their role in supporting a student in distress. GUIDE will also help participants identify students who might need support but aren’t as forthcoming. GUIDE will equip faculty and staff with empathic communication skills integrated with providing information and direction, motivation enhancement, affirmation, and how to appropriately deepen conversations.
Four separate training sessions are offered to keep group sizes small and to accommodate a range of schedule needs. Information covered in each session is the same. Tuesday, March 4, 8:30 – 11:30 Tuesday, March 4, 1:00 – 4:00 Wednesday, March 5, 8:30 – 11:30 Wednesday, March 5, 1:00 – 4:00
Space is limited, so register today. GUIDE was developed by Prevention Strategies, a UNC Greensboro affiliate, and supported on our campus by the Division of Student Affairs | Wellness and Inclusion and MidSOUTH.
Please register today using this Registration Form. All training sessions will take place in the Donaghey Student Center, Ledbetter A.
