Title: A Clinician's Guide to Supporting Students in Crisis: Ethical and Cultural Considerations for the College Student Population 

Throughout the semester students will have "crisis" situations to which they are responding. Students face challenges at the intersection of several variables – individual struggles, family of origin concerns, academic demands, all across the backdrop of our charged political climate.  For students who identify outside the majority, be that identity related to race, gender, sexuality, or nationality, these stressors can be all the more challenging to navigate. Crisis situations are individually presented and experienced and many university staff desire to respond in the most effective ways that are also responsive and balance a systematic approach. This presentation will focus on the most effective skills that clinicians can utilize with students of a variety of backgrounds who present in crisis, the pros/cons of various communication styles, how to access resources when needed, and how to incorporate individual differences, and culture sensitivity to responding to crisis situations.

• Identify physical and emotional responses experienced after a crisis situation
