Counseling Services has developed an informational handout to guide faculty and staff with identifying, supporting, and responding to students experiencing emotional distress or disruptive behavior. It is important to note that you are not expected or encouraged to act outside of your role and that counseling services are available to help if you have questions or need consultation.
