We appreciate the unique position that faculty and staff are in as they interact with students.
While at UAH, students are faced with a great many personal, academic, and social stressors. At times, some may experience these challenges as overwhelming and unmanageable. This distress can negatively impact a student's academic performance and lead to disruptive behaviors in and out of the classroom. As a faculty or staff member, you may be one of the first to recognize when a student is in distress. Expressing your interest or concern in a student's well-being can be critical in helping him or her get needed assistance.
We are available to consult with faculty and staff, campus groups and organizations, administrative offices, or others who may be concerned about issues affecting the personal and academic well-being of students. We can assist with student crises, help to assess a difficult situation, facilitate interventions, identify resources, and make referrals where appropriate. Call us for recommendations at 256.824.6203.
We are happy to meet with faculty and staff for consultations regarding any personal issues that may arise and will provide guidance and referrals as appropriate. We encourage everyone to use our services as needed.
