The Counseling Center offers free online games to help train students and faculty/staff on intervening with students who are experiencing distress. These programs, through Kognito, are offered in six unique modules. Each of the modules can be accessed at the following link:https://md.kognito.com/

The modules are described below: 

For Faculty/Staff:

Working with LGBTQ Students on Campus: 
LGBTQ students face many challenges transitioning to college life. They are at a higher risk of discrimination as well as psychological distress, including suicidal ideation, than their heterosexual peers. They may feel less willing to participate in classroom discussions, especially if no one is willing to speak out against any harassment or bias. The first step towards developing a safe and inclusive environment is the education of the staff and faculty that they will be looking up to for the next few years of their lives.
This online simulation helps build a community of respect, inclusion, and support for LGBTQ students. In this 30-minute interactive role-play course, you will learn how to address discriminatory language, talk to a student who chooses to discuss their LGBTQ identity, identify when a student may be distressed, and refer them to support
Working with Veterans:
Our college community is becoming increasingly aware of the unique challenges facing student veterans in their difficult transition to civilian life. While the VA has developed some preventative measures over the last several years, we have still seen an increase in suicide and at-risk behavior among veterans.
To address this concern, this an online training simulation will help all of us to better support our student veterans. In this 30-minute course, you will learn about common transitional stressors that a student veteran may experience, what resources are available on-campus for student veterans, and how to help a student veteran who’s struggling.
Working with general students in distress or at-risk: 
Our college community is becoming increasingly aware of the amount of stress our students are experiencing and the negative impact it can have on their health and academic performance. Studies have shown a 20% increase in college stress over the last 5 years, with 44% of students experiencing periods of severe distress.
This online training will help faculty and staff to better identify, support, and refer these students to support services on campus. Through these courses, you will learn how to identify signs of psychological distress and refer students to support services through practiced interaction with virtual students.

For Students:
Supporting LGBTQ Students on Campus: 
An online conversation game that will assist you in learning about the challenges faced by LGBTQ students. Through practiced conversations with virtual students, you will learn how to create a safe and supportive space for all students and identify what support services are available on your campus.
Supporting peers who are Veterans:
A unique, game-based, online training, lets you interact with virtual student veterans to learn tactics for identifying signs of distress in your peers, reaching out to fellow vets you are worried about, and referring friends to available support services.
Helping fellow students who are in distress
A game-based simulation where you will learn how to recognize the signs of distress, approach a friend you're worried about, and determine where you and your friend can turn for help.

If you are interested in assigning a module to a student or staff group, the Counseling Center is happy and willing to facilitate a follow-up discussion with the group. Contact Bruce Herman, 410-455-2472 for more information.

This week we present an ad in The Retriever for the student lounge and bar The Rathskeller. 


The Retriever, Volume 15, Number 19, March 11, 1981. UPUB- R4. University Publications, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) 

The Hillcrest Building, UMBC's first administration building, was a center for student recreational activities including sororities, fraternities, game clubs, and The Rathskeller, also known as "The Ratt," a student lounge/ bar situated in the basement of Hillcrest. The Rathskeller was open for 34 years, providing UMBC students with a place for drinking, dancing, eating, and hanging out outside of classes. It eventually closed in 2000, shortly followed by the demolition of the Hillcrest Building in 2007 to make way for new parking spaces and residential halls.
