Support for Your Student's Wellbeing

As faculty and staff members, you may occasionally come in contact with students who display unusual or worrisome behavior, or may share with you personal information about which you do not feel qualified to address. In such cases, especially if the behavior is impairing the student's performance or the performance of others, or there is a dramatic behavioral change, you may want to initiate a discussion about counseling with them. Ìý

During the meeting: Ìý

  • Note the behaviors about which you are concerned. Ìý
  • Be matter-of-fact, respectful, and direct. Don't minimize your concerns or try to deceive students into talking with a counselor. Ìý
  • Leave the final decision to the student. With the exception of an emergency, a student has the right to refuse a referral. Ìý
