Kognito

CSDC is providing all UHM students, faculty, and staff free access to an online program that can equip you with the knowledge and skills to recognize trauma or distress. Kognito At-Risk is a conversation simulation program which allows you to practice challenging conversations at your own pace in a variety of virtual role-play scenarios. Separate modules are available for students (At-Risk for Students) and faculty/staff (At-Risk for Faculty & Staff).

You receive guidance from a virtual coach as you engage in role-play scenarios and choose how to respond to situations involving a distressed student or peer. The program is tailored to the UH Mānoa campus and provides you with local support services you can utilize.

At-Risk for Students allows students to practice conversations with a simulated friend in distress and develop a self-care plan with the guidance from a virtual coach. Modules can be completed in multiple sittings and the whole program takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. Participants receive a certificate of completion and can use the program as many times as they wish.

At-Risk for Faculty & Staff allows faculty and staff members to practice conversations with simulated students in various levels of distress while occupying the role of a professor. As you engage in role-play scenarios and choose how to respond to situations involving a distressed student, there will be guidance from a virtual coach. Modules can be completed in multiple sittings and the whole program takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. Participants receive a certificate of completion and can use the program as many times as they wish.
