This website is intended to be a resource guide for members of the BYU community. Information is provided to help recognize and respond to students in distress. It is not unusual for faculty, professional staff, ecclesiastical leaders, family members or friends to be the first to encounter a student who is in distress. Encouraging and helping the student to seek assistance with the appropriate campus and community resources is important.

WHEN TO REFER?

Student Behaviors Behavioral or emotional change Withdrawal Change in hygiene or appearance Decline in academic performance Excessive or inappropriate anger Intense medical symptoms (sleep, headaches, GI issues, etc.) Alcohol or drug abuse Bizarre thoughts or behavior

Staff / Faculty Reactions to Student’s Behavior Feeling uncomfortable about student’s comments or behavior Concern about student’s ability to function Feeling alarmed or frightened
