Kognito Training

Kognito is a series of six online, interactive, and research-proven training simulations are designed to educate our faculty, staff, and students about best practices in supporting students who struggle with psychological distress including depression and suicidal ideation, LGBTQ students who are struggling due to harassment or exclusion, and student veterans who are facing challenges in adjusting to college life. Each training takes 30-60 minutes to complete and is structured as a virtual practice environment where users learn by engaging in interactive role-play conversations with emotionally responsive student avatars. The suite is available at no-cost to all California community college faculty, staff, and students.
