Counseling Referral

How to Refer Someone to Counseling

• Speak to the student with a calm, warm, and understanding manner.
• Clearly express your concerns by giving specific examples of observable changes that you have noticed in their behavior, work, academics, relationships, or life situations. Be sure to express these concerns as observations, not judgments.
• Reassure the student that help is available. Tell the student what services are available at the Personal Counseling Center, how to reach us, and that all services are confidential.
• If the situation is not a crisis, let the student know that it is okay to think about using our services and that if they choose not to go you will not take it personally.
• If the situation is a crisis, express your concern for their welfare and that you want to consult with someone that can better assist them. Then contact, the Personal Counseling Center.
