Identifying and Interacting with Students in Emotional Distress: A Guide for Faculty and Staff |
|
| It is
natural for college students to experience difficulty in their academic,
personal, and social lives, from time to time. Like most of us, they cope
successfully with these life demands, but for some students, these
challenges can become overwhelming and unmanageable. Faculty and staff may at times be the first to encounter these students in distress. Students may look to a university staff member for guidance during troubled times, and you might be the first point of contact in obtaining advice and support. Your expression of interest and concern may be critical in helping a student reestablish the emotional equilibrium necessary for academic success. This guide provides some suggestions for those working with students in distress. Counseling Center staff members are available (816-235-1635*) for further consultation, if you would like to discuss the specific situation you have encountered.
