Staff members are often among the first to notice that something is amiss with a student. You may be concerned that a student is acting strangely or seems depressed, but it may not be clear how you might be helpful. This site summarizes resources available to you and to the student.
If a student’s behavior is significantly out of control, or you believe that someone’s life may be in danger, phone the Department of Public Safety immediately at (401) 863-4111.
