What if a parent, another student, or a faculty and staff member is concerned about a student?
The counselor is available during business hours to consult about a concern a third party might have about a student. Strategies for helping the student and, if appropriate, getting the student in to see a counselor can be discussed. The counselor does not contact students and ask them to come in or inquire about their mental health. It is our belief that counseling is most effective when it is voluntary, and students often perceive such calls as intrusive. If a situation exists in which a student is in imminent danger as a result of a psychological problem, appropriate law enforcement or emergency medical personnel will be contacted.
