Students often encounter a great deal of stress during their college years. The guides (listed below) have been developed by the Dean of Students Office to provide faculty and staff with useful resources for recognizing students who may be experiencing emotional, physical, or developmental challenges and personal difficulties.
Although many students cope successfully with the demands of balancing life and rigorous academic programs at ǿմý, some pressures students may face can become overwhelming and unmanageable. As a faculty or staff member interacting with students, you are often in the position to identify and extend the first “helping hand” to a troubled or distressed student.
We hope this information is helpful as you work with students, be supportive of their needs and facilitate referrals to the Dean of Students Office, University Health and Counseling Services, and other campus resources; as well as increase your awareness of the CARE Team.
