Kognito Simulation Training Wellness Challenge

Students today face increasing pressures that can lead to emotional distress, depression, anxiety, substance abuse and even thoughts of suicide. As faculty and staff, we can take small steps that make a big difference. UW-Green Bay has adopted the Kognito online avatar-based conversation simulation platform “At-Risk Mental Health” for Faculty & Staff, to help us learn to notice signs of distress, use techniques to discuss our concerns, and refer students to appropriate resources. The simulation training lets you practice these challenging conversations at your own pace through role-play with virtual students.

In order to participate in the simulation go to https://uwgb.kognito.com and select “Employee” for the User. This 45-minute training can be completed in multiple sittings as your progress can be saved.
