COUNSELING SERVICES - INFORMATION FOR FACULTY Welcome faculty. This page is intended to provide you with information that may be helpful to you in your role as a faculty member at SC. Should I be worried about a student? Is there anything else I should be doing? How do I make a referral? Faculty members often contact the SSS office with concerns about their students. The counselor on staff is available to discuss your concerns and to help you develop better ways of assisting your students. Just call 706-233-7323 to speak with the counselor. Remember, whenever you are concerned about a student, even if you are unclear about what is going on with the student and/or what your specific concerns are…then call and consult with the counselor. Do you feel a student is in crisis? As faculty, you may see the student more often than anyone else. Be aware of the classroom warning signs of a student in crisis:
For emergency situations, call 911. The counselor is also available for consultation or to meet with a student in crisis. A few words about confidentiality… We can consult with faculty about their concerns about students. However, we cannot divulge any information we receive from our student/clients without permission of those students. Thank you for helping us to better serve our students.
