Mental Health Resources

• Approach the student respectfully and ask to speak in private when both of you have the time.
• Give the student your undivided attention.
• Listen to the student's thoughts and feelings in a sensitive, non-threatening way.
• If you have initiated contact with the student, express your concern in behavioral, non-judgmental terms (For example, “I've noticed you've been absent from class lately, and I'm concerned.”)
• Communicate that you understand the student by repeating back the essence of what the student has told you. Try to include both content and feelings (For example, “It sounds like you're not accustomed to such a big campus, and you're feeling left out of things.”)
• Behavior that is strange or inappropriate should not be ignored. Comment directly about what you have observed.
• Do not discuss your concerns with other students.

Circumstances that may indicate that a referral is necessary may include the following:

• The problem is more serious than you feel comfortable handling.
• You have helped as much as you can and further assistance is needed.
• You think your personal feelings about the student will interfere with your objectivity.
• The student admits that there is a problem but does not want to talk to you about it.
• The student asks for information or assistance that you are unable to provide.

When faculty or staff members decide to refer a student to Counseling Services, we recommend the following:

• Speak to the student in a direct, straightforward manner in which concern for the student's welfare is demonstrated.
• Be clear that this referral is based on observations of the student's behaviors.
• Students should make their own appointments, if possible. However, you can assist this process by offering the student immediate use of your device to fill out the "Connect with a Counselor" form.
• If the Student is not willing to accept a referral to Counseling Services, you can email us at studentwellbeing@cscc.edu to discuss the situation.

Immediate Care:

• It is important to remember to take all suicidal/homicidal expressions seriously! Any safety concerns should be directed to the Columbus State Police Department (614-287-2525) or 911.

Confidentiality of Services:

• Please remember that all Counseling Services contacts with students are confidential. Information about Counseling Services contacts with students cannot be released except under specific circumstances. Columbus State Counseling Services strictly adheres to this policy, which is in accordance with Ohio state law.
• If you are wondering about the student's follow-through with the referral, we recommend that you contact the student directly.
• You are welcome to share information regarding a student with our staff. However, Counseling Services staff must abide by the above guidelines and will not be able to provide information without the student's consent.

Resources for Parents

• Confidentiality — Counseling Services staff is ethically and legally bound to keep student information confidential. Please remember that we cannot acknowledge knowing a certain student or provide information about them without a specific release signed by the student. Yet we can still work with you to guide your process.
• College Parent Central has extensive information for parents on how to help your student: https://www.collegeparentcentral.com/2010/09/how-parents-can-help-their-student-in-trouble/

ScreenU Alcohol

Research suggests that alcohol and other drug misuse impacts students at a variety of levels, from academic failure to delayed advancement, due to injury or student conduct issues. Given alcohol’s detrimental effect on student performance, institutions strive to decrease high-risk drinking on campuses as a means of enhancing the quality of the learning environment for all students.

ScreenU Alcohol provides feedback to students about their own alcohol use and risk for experiencing negative consequences and links students to the resources and support needed to help them be successful academically and beyond.
