When you observe a student is or seems to be in distress, we support you engaging in warm handoff--calling our office with the student, providing an electronic introduction, or even offering to escort a student to our offices.
While we can, will, and have reached out directly to a student, we see much higher success when professors "lend" us the relationship by providing the direct connection. It works much better than us "cold calling" a student to offer our services.
If you are reviewing a student's assignment and see something that indicates distress, you can reach out to us (counseling@guilford.edu) for a consult.
If you know that a student is in need of broad support but you've not sure who the best resource on campus is, or if you want to ensure that multiple areas on campus are prepared to offer "wrap around" support in multiple domains of the student's life, you can submit a report to the Care Team through Guardian. Here's a Quick Guide to the process, in case it's new to you or you need a refresher.
As a reminder, Counseling Center staff will always follow up with a student you lift to us, but we will not be able to provide you with any follow-up. You can ask your student for any updates they would be willing to provide.
Coaches, check out this Eating Disorder Resource Toolkit for Coaches and Trainers! Staff working on athletic performance with students may notice changes in behaviors around food and exercise even before other friends and family do. Here is information about the types of eating disorders (ED), ways they show up, and the impacts on athletic performance, as well as ideas about how to speak to a student if you have concerns.
