How to Refer Your Student to Health and Wellness Services
You should consider referring your student to Health and Wellness Services for personal counseling if you believe their difficulties have exceeded their capacity to cope with the situation and your own ability to be helpful.
For non-emergency situations, it may be best to call our office on their behalf. Our staff can then schedule an appointment for them and provide further instructions. If you have more serious concerns about their willingness or ability to follow through with an appointment, it may be best to bring them (if you live in Hays) or have a friend bring them to our office. We also have a list of Local Mental Health Service Providers if either of you prefers off-campus resources.
Please remember, while we understand that you are very concerned about their welfare, we do not provide information to anyone (including family and parents) regarding a client's visit to our office, participation in services, scheduled appointments, or contact with Health and Wellness Services without the client's written permission. See our information on Confidentiality and Privacy for additional information.
