Become a PDAR partner
Counseling & Psychological Services (CPS) facilitates a training program for students, faculty and staff, called Princeton Distress Awareness and Response (PDAR). PDAR is an interactive session designed to educate participants on the signs and symptoms to watch out for in students and others who may be in distress, and to arm participants with the tools needed to effectively respond.
This free training is facilitated by CPS clinicians and takes about 1.5 hours to complete.
Request a PDAR workshop through our Request a Program form (select "Connecting Matters" for program) if you are interested in bringing this training to your student organization or department, or if you are interested in attending a stand-alone session.
See our guide for faculty, staff and administrators for some key takeaways on recognizing and responding to students in distress.
