Our services are confidential and free of charge for all students. Except in emergencies, present your concern in a way that allows the student to freely accept, consider or refuse your recommendation. If the student resists help and you are worried, contact Counseling Services to discuss your concerns. In a crisis, the most important things are to remain calm and make sure the student is safe. How to Refer to Counseling Services Step 1 Encourage the student to call Counseling Services at 245-5716 and schedule an appointment with one of our counselors.
Appointments are usually available within a few days to a week.
Step 2 You can call Counseling Services while the student is with you or bring the student over to set up an appointment. In an emergency, call 245-5716 and let the secretary know that you need assistance with a crisis situation. If you are concerned about a student but are uncertain about the appropriateness of a referral, feel free to call Counseling Services and speak with one of our staff. Consultation with Counseling Services Faculty or staff often consult if they believe a student is in distress and they are uncertain how to help. If you have concerns about a student's emotional functioning or behavior, including alcohol use, possible depression or anxiety, aggression, unusual or bizarre behaviors, or overall psychological well-being, we encourage you to speak with a Counseling Services professional staff member.
