Helping Students in Distress

As a teacher, students view you as a source of instruction, assistance, and sometimes personal support.  In your conversations with students, some will naturally share their successes and academic pressures, and a few will disclose their own personal stories.  Other students won't intentionally share their problems with you, but you may notice indirectly expressed signs of personal problems.  Even if you are uncomfortable with this role, you become a potential resource in times of trouble. Presented by University Counseling Center (UCC).
