Abstract:
|
Academic advisors are often in a position to notice when a student is experiencing a variety of stressors 'Harper, 2005', including academic issues, financial insecurity, family stress, medical issues, Title IX experiences, or mental health challenges. Yet, despite their insight into the challenges students face, advisors are not often integrated into Care Teams or Behavioral Intervention Teams designed to help identify students with these issues, prevent them from reaching crisis level, or supporting them through crises. This session will orient attendees to the history, composition, and work of these Teams; describe how advisors can work on or with these teams to support students; and discuss how advisors can advocate for closer collaborations with their institutions' BIT or Care Team. |
