Consultations for Faculty and Staff

Faculty or staff members who have questions about how to recognize distressed students and intervene by providing support are welcome to contact the Counseling Center for consultation. A faculty or staff member is often the first person to recognize when a student is in distress. However, they are not expected to provide personal counseling to the student(s).

Assisting a Student in Distress

If you are concerned about a student, we encourage you to:

• Assist them in making a same-day appointment with the Counseling Center by calling 504-314-2277.
• Call the Tulane University Police Department at 504-865-5911 (uptown) or 504-988-5555 (downtown) if you are concerned that the student is in immediate danger
• Contact a SRSS Professional On-Call (24/7) at 504-920-9900, or file a report at tulane.edu/concerns, and someone from Student Affairs will assist.
• Facilitate a referral to other campus resources such as the Health Center, Case Management & Victim Support Services, or the Goldman Center for Student Accessibility.
