When in doubt, consult

If you have specific questions about a student, or are unsure about whether or how to approach this individual to make a referral, call the CSDC at 815-753-1206, indicate that you are concerned about a student, and ask to speak to an available counselor. The CSDC staff member can help you:

• Assess the seriousness of the situation
• Learn about resources, both on and off campus, so that you can provide the student with potential options for getting assistance
• Decide how best to initiate the referral process
• Clarify your own feelings regarding the student and consider how you can be most effective
