Who and When to refer?
Students are more likely to seek assistance from friends
and/or Faculty/Staff but may have trouble soliciting their help. If a student
approaches you with a problem try talking privately with them about the problem(s) at hand in a nonjudgmental manner. You may also let the student know
that you are concerned and you care about their well-being. If you feel that the
student needs further assistance then encourage them to set up an appointment
with the counselor.
Look for visual signs that may indicate a student is in need
of counseling:
- The student remains distressed following repeated attempts by you and others
to be helpful.
- The student becomes increasingly isolated, unkempt, irritable, or
disconnected.
- The student’s academic or social performance deteriorates.
- The student’s behavior reflects increased hopelessness or helplessness.
- You find yourself doing ongoing counseling rather than consultation or
advising and feeling yourself pulled in directions with which you are
uncomfortable.
- The student shows significant and marked changes in behavior and mood.
