Tips for Possible Intervention

• Address the student directly/privately about your observations or concerns
• Address behavior, not character
• If emotional distress is evident, consider calling or walking student to Counseling Services
• Consider non-counseling referrals, such as Academic Skills Center or Veteran Resource Center
• Consult a member of the Behavioral Intervention Team for information & support with the student present

Your expression of concern may provide students the motivation they need to seek needed help or services.
