  • Tips for talking to a distressed student 

    Remain calm. Provide private, quiet space.  Don’t be rushed. Speak directly and honestly.

  • Explain your concern
    “ I have noticed that you have been crying and I am concerned about you.”
  • Listen and seek to understand

    “What do you need?” or “How can I help?”

    Don’t criticize, blame, judge or give advice

  • Normalize
    “You are not alone.” or  "What you are feelings makes sense."
  • Frame help seeking as a sign of strength
    “It took courage for you to come to me.”
  • Ask about the student’s support system
    Encourage them to utilize healthy friends and family members for help.
