Faculty / Administrator Consultation

At Counseling and Psychological Services we are firmly committed to creating positive alliances and collaborations with faculty, staff, and administrators at Fordham University. CPS staff regularly provide educational outreach on a number of common mental health issues to various departments on campus, and we welcome additional requests or ideas about such services.

CPS staff is available to assist you with individual consultations as well. As faculty, staff, and administrators, you may interact with students on a day-to-day basis in a way that CPS staff do not. As a result, you may be in a position in which you observe concerning changes in a student before we have even met that student. Should you have any questions or concerns about a student with whom you've been interacting, please do not hesitate to contact us. CPS staff are available for consultation by phone during regular work hours and are happy to advise and support you as you think through how to support your students. Please refer to the following guide for more information about how to respond to mental health emergencies: Mental Health Brochure

Should you have any pressing concerns about a student, please contact the Dean of Students during business hours or the Security Supervisor 24 hours a day. You may also call the Dean of Students or Security if you believe that a student needs to be seen right away and he/she refuses. Personally walking a student over to one of these offices might help in the event that he/she is hesitant to ask for help. Additionally, please see our "Concerns About Suicide" link on the left hand side of this page for some valuable information tailored to faculty, staff, and administrators at Fordham (you can click on "Info for Faculty").

Please take a moment to look at the Faculty Brochure (.doc file). It offers useful information about working with the emotionally distressed student. The brochure discusses:
  • Faculty and Staff Roles
  • Cross Cultural Communication
  • The Verbally Aggressive Student
  • The Violent Student
  • Substance Abuse
  • The Distressed and Anxious Student
  • The Suicidal Student
  • How to contact CPS
