Kognito training offered for faculty and staff

Kognito At-Risk for Faculty and Staff is an interactive role-play simulation that builds awareness, knowledge and skills about mental health and suicide prevention. The training prepares users to lead real-life conversations with students that build resilience, strengthen relationships and connect them with support.

Binata Mukherjee, M.D., M.B.A., assistant dean of faculty and professional development at the Frederick P. Whiddon College of Medicine, completed the training. “Kognito provides simple tools for providing a psychologically safe space for learners, especially those who may have mental health concerns. The simulations are well done and easy to learn,” said Mukherjee, who also is an associate professor of internal medicine.
