Student Handbook 2016

Referring a student to counseling services A Bluefield College student can be referred to counseling services by a Bluefield College faculty and/or staff member as well as a fellow Bluefield College student. Guidelines for interaction include talking to the person (who is referring the student) in private, specifically stating their reasons for concern, listening carefully, avoiding criticizing or sounding judgmental, and discussing with the student a referral to counseling services. If the student resists referral and you remain uncomfortable with the situation, contact Kelly Bittler, Director of Residence Life, Student Activities, and Career Counseling at 276-326-4256 to discuss your concern. Sometimes it can be helpful to accompany the student to Bluefield College counseling services.
