Kognito is an online avatar-based program that allows students, staff, and faculty to explore warning signs of distress and to practice having challenging conversations with emotionally responsive characters. There are different modules that guide users on how to support students in distress, and how to create a campus community that is welcoming for LGBTQ students, and student veterans.
