If you are concerned about suicidal thoughts or comments, call the Counseling Center at 443-4715. Unless safety is compromised, please stay with the student until the student gets assistance.
REFER: When you are doing more counseling than advising The problems or requests made are outside the scope of your role with the student When you feel that the issue with which the student is dealing could benefit from working with a mental health professional CONSULT: Anytime you are not sure how to handle a situation or approach a student The student keeps coming back and has not followed through with your referral
Be helpful and supportive Express your concerns directly to the student Encourage the student to call and make his or her own appointment In crisis situations walk the student to the appropriate office or call to consult while with the student Instill hope that help is available and effective Don t avoid the situation, promise privacy, or offer more help then you are able to provide
If appropriate, check in with the student after the situation and ask how the student is doing. If appropriate, ask the student if he/she followed through with the referral. If there is new information, follow-up with appropriate office.
