Vector Mental Health Training

Vector Mental Health Training is an online tool that universities all throughout the United States and Maryland are using to help students, faculty, staff, and administrators learn to recognize signs of psychological distress in various student populations. Users learn how to approach at-risk students and make appropriate referrals to campus support services for screening and assessment. Learners attain hands-on practice managing challenging, and often sensitive, conversations surrounding mental health and master the skills necessary to identify and connect students to help. There is strong research support for the effectiveness of these programs!

This resource is free to use.

The training takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, and you can print a certificate of completion at the end. Join us in making Loyola University Maryland a safe and welcoming place for all students by getting your certificate today! And when you do, you are automatically ready to become a member of Loyola’s Green Bandana Brigade!
