At the same time, institutions should be selective about what digital tools they endorse. Not all apps are clinically sound, and campuses must vet platforms for evidence-based credibility and cultural fit.<\/p><p>Educating faculty and staff on what these tools offer is helpful, so they can confidently refer students to the right resources. Not every student needs a counseling appointment; sometimes, a guided meditation, a conversation with peers, or even an on-demand yoga class can help bridge the gap.<\/p><p>Ultimately, investing in the right technology and making sure the campus community understands how to use it can expand care beyond the walls of the counseling center.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e86a16d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"e86a16d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-099e305 ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"099e305\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14b645e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"14b645e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To maximize impact:<\/p><ul><li>Audit tools for accessibility and clinical validity<\/li><li>Train faculty and staff to refer students confidently<\/li><li>Educate students on options beyond counseling, like on-demand yoga or peer conversations<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f5a4830 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"f5a4830\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e095019 ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"e095019\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33afe02 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"33afe02\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-should-leaders-support-staff\"><\/span>How should leaders support staff?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><p>Just as students experience crises in different ways, so do the staff who support them.
