How to make a referral
If you become aware that a student is
having personal or family problems (for example, illness of a family
member), it is often useful to ask the student, “Are you talking with
anyone about this?”
If you feel that the student would
benefit from a counseling referral, it is usually best to express your
concern and recommendation directly to the student and allow the
student to make his or her own decision. If a student needs help
immediately, offer to call Counseling Services (458-4140) while the
student is present or walk the student over to the Counseling Services
office (RWC 1.810).

If you call Counseling Services on
behalf of a student, identify yourself and explain to the receptionist
that you are assisting a student in obtaining services. Be sure to
let the receptionist know if it is a crisis or emergency situation.
Allow the student to speak to the receptionist to get information on
how to get to our office to obtain services.
Client confidentiality prohibits us
from providing you with information about a student you have referred,
but it is always appropriate for you to check back with the student to
see whether he or she followed through on your recommendation.
