The college years can be a time of both excitement and stress for students. Sometimes new challenges, stresses, and freedoms can lead to difficulties. Common problems that students sometimes experience while in college include:

  • 抑郁症
  • 压力管理
  • 饮食/身体形象问题
  • 焦虑
  • 物质使用和滥用
  • Time Management; and
  • 的关系问题.

如果这些问题得不到解决, 它们可能会导致情绪化, academic or social difficulties for the student. 心理辅导 & Wellness Center at 新博网页 can often help students resolve their concerns so they can feel better and get “back on track” with their academic work.

Below are resources for parents, faculty, and others who may want to refer a student to the CWC.

1. 抑郁症 While we all may feel depressed from time to time, “normal” depression typically consists of only one or two symptoms; and, 通常几天内就会过去. Clinically depressed students will exhibit multiple symptoms for a longer period of time. 其中一些症状是情绪低落, 睡眠障碍, 注意力不集中, 食欲变化, loss of interest in pleasurable activities, 撤军, 糟糕的卫生, 丧失自尊, 以及对死亡的关注. 2. 激动或发泄

This would represent a departure from normal or socially appropriate behavior. 它可能包括具有破坏性, restless or hyper-active; being antagonistic, 酒精和/或药物滥用的增加.

3. 定向障碍 苦恼的学生似乎“脱离了现实”.” You may notice a diminished awareness of what is going on around them, 忘记或丢失东西, 误解:对事实或现实的误解, 散漫的或不连贯的讲话, and behavior that seems out of context or bizarre.

4. 吸毒和酗酒 If someone is drinking or using drugs excessively and/or increasingly this may be a sign of abuse. 也, 上课时醉酒的迹象, 在与教职员工的互动中, or in risky situations such as while driving a car are indicative of a problem that requires attention.

5. 自杀的念头 Most people who attempt suicide communicate early messages about their distress. These messages can range from “I don’t want to be here”, 到一连串模糊的“再见”, 变成“我要自杀”.” Non-verbal messages could include giving away valued items, 加上合法的, 金融, 还有其他事情. All of the above messages should be taken seriously.

6. 暴力与侵略 You may become aware of students who may be dangerous to others. This may be manifested by physically violent behavior, 口头威胁, 威胁电子邮件或信件, 骚扰或跟踪行为, and papers or exams that contain violent or threatening material.

如何转介

Typically it is prudent to telep磨练 the 咨询 and Wellness Center after you and the student have agreed counseling would be beneficial. You should identify yourself and the nature of the situation when you contact the 咨询 and Wellness Center.

You may want to speak with a counselor regarding the situation in order to facilitate the referral. 心理辅导 and Wellness Center can ordinarily provide same-day counseling in a crisis, but it is helpful for us to know the nature of the crisis in advance. If you do not feel it is necessary to speak to a counselor, the student can simply obtain an appointment by providing some identifying information to our receptionist.

在进行转介时,请记住:
  • Convey your concern for the student’s well-being.
  • Explain what you have heard or observed that makes you concerned about the student.
  • Recommend the 咨询 and Wellness Center.
  • Tell the student as much as you can about the 咨询 and Wellness Center.
  • 帮助学生预约, either by calling the Center with them (941-487-4254) or walking to the Center with them
  • 如果学生对服务不确定, 而且没有危机, you can also refer to the 咨询 and Wellness Center webpage (gzmaojs.com/cwc) which has several self-guided resources, and the Interactive Screening Program which allows students to anonymously interact with a therapist from the CWC.
转介后:
  • Ask the student how it went, without prying too much for information.
  • Continue to be supportive and inquire periodically how he/she is doing.
  • Contact the referral if you learn additional information that may be important or relevant.
应对学生突发事件:

Immediate and decisive intervention is needed when an individual’s behavior poses a threat to self or others, 包括:

  • Suicidal gestures, intentions, or attempts.
  • Other behavior posing a threat to the student (e.g.、幻觉、滥用药物).
  • Threats or aggression directed towards others (e.g., 暗示或直接威胁他人的, 显示武器/武器, physically confronts/attacks another person.
