Referrals

Referral to 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 Counseling is appropriate whenever there are concerns about a student's behavior, especially when a student appears to be experiencing personal discomfort or difficulty in coping that interferes with their daily functioning. Prior to making a referral staff/faculty can contact 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 Counseling directly to consult regarding any concerns they may have. 

Referrals can be made either online or by contacting 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 Counseling at 701.774.4212 or at wsc.counseling@yilunjianshe.com.

Students can experience emotional distress, behavioral stress, or both for many different reasons. Sources of distress can be mental health issues, relationship concerns, frustration, loneliness, feeling overwhelmed, conflict, illness, or injury.

How to Help

Call 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 Counseling for consultation whenever a student appears to be experiencing challenges that do not seem to be resolving. 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 Counseling can be helpful in assisting staff and faculty with the best way to approach students who are in distress.

One way of introducing a counseling referral to a student is to summarize to him/her what behaviors are of concern. Once a student is aware of 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 Counseling, different possible steps can be taken, depending on the student’s attitude and the urgency of the situation:
 
  • Give the student information about 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 Counseling and urge him or her to stop by to complete intake paperwork.
  • Offer to call 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 Counseling together for more specific information about scheduling.
  • Accompany the student to 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 Counseling to provide the necessary information and/or schedule.
When possible, call ahead to inform 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 Counseling you are bringing a student. In speaking to a student about counseling, it is important to keep in mind some students may respond negatively to the idea of counseling. Reassure the student that many people seek counseling to help them manage and respond to daily life events. 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 Counseling provides a chance to explore feelings and solve problems with the help of an objective, sensitive, and concerned listener within a safe, confidential setting.

Unless there is a serious or immediate concern about the welfare and safety of a student or others, it should be a student’s decision to seek counseling. Coercing a student to go to counseling is not likely to have positive results; it is better to try to maintain your relationship with a student rather than to force him or her to seek 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 Counseling.

After a referral is made, an appointment will be scheduled for an initial consultation. This will usually be held within a few days from the time a student makes contact, depending on the student’s schedule. In an emergency, arrangements will be made to see the student on the same day. Initial consultations or intakes are used to assess the situation and to determine what services would be most helpful.

EMERGENCIES:
First call 911 and then notify Security and 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 Counseling.
