The #1 reason why people don’t reach out to someone they know to be struggling is the simple fact of not knowing what to do or say. Through this training, CUW student leaders will gain insight into their personal barriers to comforting others and will become equipped with tools and strategies to break through the “Awkward Zone."
Hosted by the JED Campus Committee in conjunction with Inspiring Comfort.

This natural gift has led Jen to a vocation of crisis response, healing and comfort which has impacted the lives of thousands of people across the United States. She is passionate about furthering the science of human care through pioneering comfort as a teachable skill and has worked with researchers and thought leaders across the country to fine tune this critical human care behavior. She is a frequent speaker on how comfort can be taught as a skill, why our world has lost the art of connectedness and the importance of comfort in suicide prevention and overall mental health.
