教师资源 & 工作人员

We are happy to offer college forum presentations to discuss our services with your students.

We also collaborate with offices and departments who are looking for a more focused presentation related to mental health or wellness.

有时, faculty and staff question when a referral for personal or psychological counseling is warranted. 当然, the clearest case for making a referral would be when a student specifically indicates the need for personal or psychological counseling. Another reason for making a referral is when a student shares a personal problem that is beyond your range of knowledge or you feel uncomfortable handling. 其他时间, you may observe a student who is exhibiting emotional or behavioral signs that suggest he/she is in distress. In such cases, a referral for personal or psychological counseling is often indicated. 请参阅下面的示例列表.

痛苦的迹象

• 学习成绩的突然变化
• 与同学的人际关系问题
• 上课出勤率低
• 个人卫生有明显改变
• 好斗、危险或破坏性的行为
• 过度担心、紧张或激动
• 社会退缩或孤立
• 精神错乱、怪异行为和/或不恰当的影响
• 过度依赖的，被动的或害怕的
• 出现酒精或其他药物损害(例如.g., 有酒味或大麻味, 口齿不清, 不稳定的步态, 充血的眼睛, 瞳孔放大, 防御/消极的态度)
• 抑郁症的症状(如.g., 持续的悲伤和绝望, 无价值感, 非理性的内疚, 体重突然减轻或增加, 睡眠障碍, 疲劳、精神萎靡, 经常哭, 易怒, 关于自杀的想法/谈论)

Keep in mind that it is not your role or responsibility to diagnose the exact nature of a student’s problem. We are only suggesting that if a student exhibits any of the signs noted above, 他/她可能会从咨询中受益. If you are in doubt as to whether a referral for personal/psychological counseling is indicated, you may contact 咨询及健康服务 staff for assistance. 在这种情况下，我们的咨询人员将提供咨询, 以帮助确定转介到我们办公室是否有益.

一旦你确定需要心理咨询, you may be uncertain how best to proceed with the student in making a referral to our office. 取决于学生接受帮助的态度和意愿, 这个过程可能或多或少具有挑战性. Regardless of the circumstances, there are certain guidelines you can follow to be most effective. 它们包括在下面.

转介指引

• 要求与学生单独会面. An individual is more likely to be receptive to your recommendation for counseling when the suggestion is not made in the presence of others.
• Note the specific behaviors you have observed and express your concern. 例如, you might say: “I’ve noticed that you haven’t been attending class regularly, 你的成绩在下降, 最近你看起来很疲倦. 我很担心你, and wanted you to know that there are many support services available on our campus. Counselors who are trained to help you with any personal problems you may be experiencing are available. I would be glad to assist you in scheduling an appointment with a counselor.”
• Express confidence in our services by emphasizing the potential benefits of counseling. The more familiar you are with our services and our staff, the more confidence you will convey. 这有助于学生相信我们有能力提供帮助.
• 向学生保证咨询是私人的, 保密, 不会成为他/她的学习成绩的一部分.
• Encourage the student to contact our office directly to schedule an appointment. It is usually helpful to have the student call immediately from your office.
• Provide additional reassurances for the reluctant student by indicating or suggesting the following:
  • 许多学生利用心理咨询
  • 寻求帮助是勇敢的，也是力量的象征
  • 咨询 is voluntary (students can try it once, and choose whether or not to continue)
  • 主动提出陪学生去我们的办公室

教师 and staff are advised to call 911 for any emergency situation including suicide attempt, 酒精或其他药物过量, 或者迫在眉睫的暴力威胁. 如果你用校园电话拨打911, your call will automatically be connected simultaneously to the 911 dispatch center and to our campus Public Safety and 卫生服务 departments.

For situations involving a psychological crisis with no imminent threat of danger, contact 咨询及健康服务 staff during normal business hours for immediate assistance. 咨询师会评估伤害的风险等级, 帮助个体获得稳定, 并提出适当的治疗建议, 根据需要.

24小时紧急/危机联系人

在非工作时间出现心理危机时, employees are advised to utilize any of the community services noted below:

• 撒玛利亚医院危机/自杀预防热线:(518)274-4345
• Capital District Psychiatric Center Walk-In Crisis Unit: (518) 447-9650
• 伦斯勒县性侵犯护理中心热线:(518)271-3257
• 团结之家家庭暴力热线:(518)272-2370

在做了心理咨询后, it is not uncommon to be interested in finding out how a student is doing. 然而, the 保密 nature of the counseling relationship often precludes us from sharing information about a student. We maintain 保密ity according to the standards set by our professional code of ethics, 联邦指导方针, 以及州法律. This means that we cannot disclose any information about a student without his/her written consent to do so (even whether or not a student showed up for an appointment).

请注意, 然而, that if we determine a student is an imminent risk to self or others, our duty to protect will take precedence over maintaining 保密ity.

Personal and psychological counseling services are restricted to registered students. 然而, employees who have concerns about their own or a loved one’s personal/psychological well-being may utilize our office for consultation and/or referral information. Our staff will also respond to any employee who is in psychological crisis to offer immediate assistance. 虽然我们不能提供持续的个人咨询, 我们的工作人员会向员工推荐社区的其他资源, 根据需要.

教师 and staff are encouraged to utilize the college’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for 保密 counseling and referral assistance. 该项目由资本EAP运营, 为了您的方便，我们将他们的联系方式列在下面.
