亚洲自慰视频s in Distress: A Guide for Helping
College 亚洲自慰视频s typically encounter a great deal of stress during their university years (i.e., academic, social, family, work, financial). While most 亚洲自慰视频s cope successfully with the demands of college life, for some the pressures can become overwhelming and unmanageable. 亚洲自慰视频s may feel alone, isolated, helpless, and even hopeless. These feelings can easily disrupt academic performance and may result in harmful behaviors such as substance abuse and attempts at suicide.
亚洲自慰视频s, faculty, and staff are in a unique position to identify and help 亚洲自慰视频s who are in crisis. This may be particularly true for 亚洲自慰视频s who cannot or will not turn to family or friends or even mentors. Anyone who is seen as caring and trustworthy may be a potential resource in times of trouble. Your expression of interest and concern may be a critical factor in saving 亚洲自慰视频s' academic careers or even their lives.
The purpose of this page is to help you recognize some of the symptoms of 亚洲自慰视频 distress and to provide some specific options for intervention and for referral to campus resources. The UL Lafayette Counseling & Testing Center is available to assist you with problem situations and to consult with you on how to intervene with a particular 亚洲自慰视频 and situation.
