University-Wide Resources
Open to community members of all (or no) religious beliefs. Our chaplains, including the Africana Spirituality advisor, Buddhist chaplain, Catholic chaplain, Hindu advisor, Humanist chaplain, Jewish chaplain, Muslim chaplain, and Protestant chaplain, affirm LGBTQIA+ identities and are confidential resources.
When a tragedy happens on campus or off campus and affects our students, knowing how to respond can be challenging, and you may not always feel in your comfort zone. CELT has compiled guidance to support Tufts educators.
Tufts partners with Kognito, a free interactive digital role-play simulation that prepares students, faculty, and staff to have real-life conversations around mental health and suicide prevention. Kognito is self-paced and takes about 30-40 minutes to complete.
