Students in Distress
University faculty and staff members learn very quickly that
dealing with students in distress is inevitable when working in
a university setting. Regardless of your position within the
university, you will at some point encounter at least one
student who is overwhelmed by the stressors of his or her life.
Recognizing the signs of emotional distress and taking steps to
make an appropriate intervention can have a significant impact
on the future of this individual. The information provided on
this web site is intended to be helpful in guiding your
encounters with many common student issues. It is important to
remember, however, that every student is unique and for some
students there is no substitute for consultation with a
professional Counselor.
