Listen non-judgmentally to student to determine what is going on.
In a caring way ask important safety questions (if they are thinking about harming themselves or others/are considering suicide).
Upon disclosure, notify the student you are a mandated reporter and must report the situation to the On-Call Phone
Call the On-Call Phone, who will determine the need for in-person response, possible call to RLO and/or Campus Police/EAC Counselors, etc.
Generally, issues including depression, eating disorders, severe stress, death of a loved one, break-ups will not result in immediate in-person response from the On-Call Phone.
Complete an IR and contact will be made with the student next business day.
Generally, issues including non-lethal self-harm, lower level suicide ideation (no imminent risk), and elevated distress will result in an immediate in-person response from the On-Call Phone RD, but will not likely result in RLO being called.
