Guide in MAKING REFERRALS to OCCS
- IDENTIFY STUDENT'S BEHAVIORS INDICATING THE NEED FOR HELP
- TALK TO THE STUDENT ABOUT THE NEED TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP
If you observe any of these behaviors, here's how to proceed:
- Inform the student regarding the behavioral patterns that you have observed in confidence
- Listen to the person's situation.
- Suggest that he or she may consider availing of the counseling services provided by the OCCS for free.
- Respect the person being referred. A student has the freedom to refuse a referral.
- However, if his or her behavior endangers one's well-being and those of others, it is our utmost responsibility to provide such help to the student without necessarily getting his or her consent.
- INFORM OCCS ABOUT YOUR REFERRAL
If the student agrees to the referral, you may:
- Download the counseling referral form from the OCCS Website:
http://www.dlsu.edu.ph/offices/osa/occs/default.asp
- Inform the OCCS Director or any OCCS staff regarding your referral either by phone or personal visit at the OCCS.
- Ask your student to schedule an appointment with the Counselor. In case of emergency, you may immediately accompany the student to the OCCS. Otherwise, you may inform the student that he or she can meet with the Counselor of the Day during the regular working hours.
