Kognito for Students, Faculty, and Staff
Kognito
Have you ever been worried about a student or friend on campus? Students are in an ideal position to recognize when someone is struggling emotionally and may need help. Kognito At-Risk Mental Health for Students is an online simulation that lets you practice conversations with a virtual student, so you’ll know what to say in real life.
Kognito is available to KSU students to help create a safer and more supportive campus. It is offered as part of the More Aware Initiative funded by the US Department of Health and Human Services.
