Students often share that their relationships with faculty and staff are instrumental in their growth and development during their time at Lafayette. Seeking guidance from a trusted faculty member, adviser, coach, or mentor can be indispensable when students traverse challenges during their college experience. Sometimes these challenges may include struggles with mental health and well-being. When these concerns arise, it can help to be prepared for how to productively navigate the conversation. This guide created by the Counseling Center is designed to help faculty and staff recognize signs that indicate a student is having difficulties of a psychological nature, and consider approaches to respond effectively and connect students with available resources.
