If you are unsure how to handle a specific student, contact the Counseling Center at 541-962-3524, identify yourself as a faculty or staff member, and ask to speak with a personal counselor. If the counselors are engaged, your call will be returned as soon as possible. A brief consultation may help you sort out the relevant issues and explore alternative approaches.
Conveying your concern and willingness to help is perhaps the most important thing you can do. Your support, encouragement, and reassurance will be particularly helpful to a student in distress.
If you feel it is imperative that the student receive immediate attention, the student is willing to cooperate, and it is before 5 p.m., walk him or her to the Counseling Center. If it is after hours and you believe this to be a mental health emergency the La Grande Police Department 911 may be called upon to provide assistance.
