In this episode of The CFI Faculty Lounge Podcast, host Eric Magrum talks with Dr. Joe Leblanc and Karla Kale about mental health first aid, a practical approach that helps faculty and staff recognize when someone may be struggling and respond with care. Using the metaphor of being a first responder, they discuss how educators can learn simple, evidence-based tools to start supportive conversations and connect people with help.
Listen in as they discuss:
- The ALGEE model, a flexible framework for approaching conversations and offering support
- How to move past the fear of saying the wrong thing when someone may be struggling
- Common warning signs of distress and how to respond thoughtfully
- Campus resources like Madison Cares and training opportunities through CFI and the Counseling Center
- The connection between well-being, burnout, and creating a supporting campus community
They also emphasize a key reminder: approaching someone with care is always a meaningful first step.
