When a Pratt student reaches out to their parent/guardian or parental figure, they are coming to you because they trust you and value your input. To best assist them please consider encouraging your student to phone or email the center to schedule an appointment. You can also assist by offering to find off campus mental health providers for your student. Below please find some other tips:
- Keep an open mind
- Be non judgmental when they are coming to speak with you
- Ask your student what they need and how you can help them
- Express that you are available to support them during this time
