COUNSELING CENTER

Suggestions for Parents:

You know your child better than anyone – if you notice significant changes in

achievement, routines, personality or mood, health or social interactions, talk to them

about your concerns. Listen to them without downplaying what they may be

struggling with. Encourage them to tap into the great supportive resources King’s

College has to offer.

If your child has a history of mental health concerns, work to connect them with

resources on campus right from the start. Transitioning to college is difficult in and

of itself – if your child is not actively working to manage their diagnosis during this

transition, it is even more difficult.

If you have very immediate concerns about your child’s safety, connect with

someone on campus. Share your concerns with a staff member who can follow up

and provide support if need be. You can speak to Campus Security, Residence Life,

or staff in the Counseling Center.
