What can you do if you are concerned about a student?

ACT = Acknowledge, Care and Tell

Acknowledge feelings rather than minimize them. Telling a student to "get over it" or "move on" is not a realistic outcome when dealing with a person with depression. Instead say something like "I'm sorry to hear about this. It sounds really hard."

Show Care and Concern for the student by taking the next step. "I'm worried about you. I don't want anything bad to happen to you or for you to be hurt". 

Tell a member of your crisis team. They know how to work with students who have concerns like these. "Let's go talk with someone in the counseling office."
