If someone has turned to you for help, or you see that a person you care about needs help, refer to these resources. They’re meant to help you recognize, intervene and refer emotionally troubled students to Counseling & Psychological Services. Sometimes the issues that students present might also warrant a referral to the Office of the Chaplain.
