作为一名员工, 教师, friend or parent you are in a good position to identify who might need help as you see and talk to 学生 on a regular basis and often in stressful situations. If you notice that a student is exhibiting one or more of the following academic, physical or 情感 signs, or you just have a “gut-feeling” that something is wrong, make a referral to the 护理团队.

Some signs may include:

• 学术指标
  • Excessive procrastination and very poorly prepared work, especially if this is inconsistent with previous efforts.
  • Missing assignments or exams.
  • Multiple absences or excessive tardiness.
  • Decline in interest or enthusiasm.
  • Inability to follow assignment instructions or tasks, despite repeated attempts to clarify/encourage.
  • Repeated requests for special consideration (e.g. 最后期限扩展).
  • Dependence on professor/tutor that is beyond what is usual for a student needing assistance in your class.
• 情感上的指标
  • Emotions (sadness, nervousness, fearfulness, 等.) that are displayed to an extreme degree or for a prolonged period of time.
  • Change in typical personality (e.g., more outgoing or more withdrawn than usual).
  • Difficulty connecting with the community, making friends, 等.
  • Difficulty dealing with a life event (e.g., death in family, relationship break-up).
  • Expressions of hopelessness, 隔离, or worthlessness; themes of suicide, self-harm or reference to death and dying.
  • Marked irritability, anger, hostility.
  • Direct mention of thoughts of self-harm, harm to others, or suicide.
  • Mention of dealing with a mental health issue (depression, 焦虑, 双相情感障碍, 等), 药物滥用, 进食障碍, 等.
  • Strange or bizarre behavior that is obviously inappropriate to the situation (e.g., seeing or hearing things other people don’t).
• 物理指标
  • Chronic fatigue or falling asleep at inappropriate times.
  • Marked change in personal hygiene or appearance.
  • Noticeable or dramatic change in energy level.
  • Dramatic weight loss or weight gain.
  • Impaired speech or confused disjointed thoughts.
  • Frequently appears “hung-over” or attends class intoxicated.
  • Noticeable signs of self-harm on student (cuts, burns, 等. 这似乎很不寻常).

Once the 护理团队 receives a referral, the team begins a response by gathering more information and reaching out to the student to offer support. How outreach happens and who does the outreach depends on the content of the referral and the initial “face-value” assessed level of concern. The response can range from an email offering support or a phone call to the student to finding them on campus to assess safety and immediate concerns.

Additionally, the 护理团队 meets weekly to discuss all referrals. The team works together to assess the level of concern for the student, identify areas of need, and provide holistic support services.

Due to the high volume of cases and the priority of contacting 学生, it is not always possible to provide updates back to the original referral source. If you would like updates or information on the student(s) you refer, please contact the Director of Compliance and 安全 directly to inquire about the student.
