This bystander intervention program was developed to help Cornell undergraduate students to recognize and respond to their peers (roommate or housemate, friend, classmate, or other acquaintance) who may be experiencing distress. Through didactic material and a real-life example this training provides undergraduate students with information about signs and levels of distress (concern, elevated, and emergency) they may notice in peers, as well as corresponding response options, including campus, local, and national resources.
This training covers the importance of encouraging help-seeking behavior and utilization of resources with peers.
