Description : When students' writing has you worried for their safety or the safety of others, what is best practice? Where to go for support? Especially in CNF workshops, but also in fiction and poetry, we encounter students' admissions of severe depression, anxiety, domestic abuse, or suicidal thoughts. How to respond compassionately while still honoring students' artistic process and privacy? Does your institution have a policy that obligates you to report concerns? Should your syllabus state that policy?"
