Helps Referring a student for counseling demonstrates that you are concerned and have confidence he or she can get better with help.
Many students avoid counseling because they believe it is for the mentally ill.
Our emphasis in counseling is on teaching skills to help students become more functional. Some of the skills we teach are reducing anxiety in testing or speech situations, overcoming depression, interacting better with others, and managing time more efficiently. As you recommend our services, try not to talk about improving mental health, but say things like learning new skills, making an investment in yourself, and preparing yourself to be more efficient.
