Resources to Assist With Challenging Student Behavior
For any situation where there is a concern about student behavior, we recommend that faculty/staff start by consulting with Lynn Gregory, Wellness Counselor and Consultant. In addition to mental health services to students, Lynn provides consultation to faculty, staff and administrators regarding students' emotional well-being, managing challenging student behavior, and related campus issues. She serves as the liaison between faculty/staff and the Dean of Students Office, she is a member of the Student Assessment and Intervention Team (SAIT), and she regularly provides training to the College community about student behavior. These trainings can be requested and customized for a particular College work area, Department or Division.
In individual consultations, Lynn can provide information, training, and support regarding how best to manage students' emotional/behavioral issues that surface in the classroom, in offices, or in other areas around the college.
