WHEN A REFERRAL IS APPROPRIATE
What You Can Do: When a Referral is Appropriate

  • The problem is more serious than you feel comfortable or capable of dealing with.
  • You are extremely busy or are experiencing stress in you own life and are unable or unwilling to handle the student's needs.
  • You have talked to the student and helped as much as you can but further assistance is needed.
  • You think that your feelings about the student would interfere with your ability to be helpful.
  • The student admits there is a problem but does not want to talk to you about it.
  • The student asks for information or assistance which you are unable to provide.
