| When you have determined that a student might benefit from psychological counseling, it is best to speak directly to the student in a straightforward fashion that will show your concern for his or her welfare. Clearly state that the referral is based on your best judgment from your observations of the student's behavior.
Students should make their own appointments if possible. To schedule an appointment, students can come by our offices in the UC, room 310, or by calling 516.877.3646. You can assist this process by offering the student immediate use of your phone. Students from Hauppauge, Hudson Valley and Manhattan Centers, can receive referrals to local service providers by contacting the SCC at 516.877.3646 or by email at scc@adelphi.edu. The Derner Institute's Psychological Services Center also offers therapy services at the Manhattan Center (516.877.4820).
If referring a student to the SCC or the Psychological Services Center, it might be a good idea for you to have a follow-up contact with that student to show your continued interest in his or her welfare. Whenever possible, please let us know you are referring a student to us. This will help us prepare for the student when he or she arrives.
