Friend2Friend
Friend2Friend is a skills-based training facilitated by Alice! Health Promotion. This three-hour workshop is designed to help Columbia students recognize and respond to friends in distress. Focused on understanding, reframing, referring, and self-care, students learn how to connect peers to mental health resources on- and off-campus.
At the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Define their role as a friend
- Define well-being
- List at least three factors that can help someone maintain positive well-being
- List at least three reasons why students may choose not to get help
- List at least three possible signs of distress
- Describe how to refer a friend to a resource
- Identify ways to care for oneself after helping a friend
Sessions are available to all currently enrolled Columbia students. Training sessions range from 6-25 people. Requests for groups with fewer than six participants will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
