The Counseling staff provides the opportunity
for students to share concerns, sort out thoughts and feelings,
and make choices, with the assistance of a psychologist or social
worker. The counseling staff will assess the problem and work individually
with the student, or if appropriate, make a referral to another
staff person or to a professional in the local community. We do
not have the resources to provide long-term counseling. If a student
should need extended counseling, we will assist the student in making
arrangements with a professional in the community, and the student
must assume financial responsibility for the counseling.
The Student Development staff, residence hall staff, and faculty
form a network of people concerned about the emotional health of
students. Early identification and intervention can often keep problems
from becoming severe. Please encourage your son or daughter to seek
help before a problem becomes too large to handle.
Dysfunctional Student Behavior
If a student with a serious problem is unable to participate fully
in the academic program, the College reserves the right to temporarily
separate the student from the College and to help the student seek
appropriate care. Whenever possible, the student will be involved
in the decision to notify parents, but the Dean of Students will
take appropriate steps in an emergency situation. |
