Supporting Students
Are you concerned about a student?
If you want to discuss your concerns about a student with a staff member of CAPS, call our main line 513-556-0648 and request to speak to a counselor for consultation. We will listen to your concerns and provide specific guidance and advice tailored to the situation.
We may suggest such approaches as:
- talking with the student and how to do so
- providing the student with some academic counseling or options
- creating an agreement about behavioral expectations
- referring the student to CAPS or other departments at UC
- contacting the Dean of Students Office to describe your concern.
Some situations require immediate attention. If a student's behavior is highly disruptive, creates a risk for others' safety, appears very disorganized or out of control, or if the student expresses an intent of self-harm or suicide, seek immediate assistance by calling CAPS at (513) 556-0648 and asking for the therapist on-call for emergencies, or call Public Safety at 911.
