Working with Students Yourself
In many cases, students feel more comfortable opening up to faculty or staff they already know and trust. If you are in a position to listen and provide support, that care can go a long way. You may find that:
- Students benefit from talking with you directly about academic stress or personal concerns.
- It may not always be necessary to explore deeper psychological issues in the moment.
- You can always consult with Student Affairs for guidance or support on how best to assist a student—whether or not a formal referral is needed.
Your presence and willingness to care are often the most powerful first steps in helping a student regain stability and confidence.
If you are concerned about a student’s safety or well-being and want to report anonymously, please call (580) 371-7139 or (318) 366-3028
Student Confidentiality
We take confidentiality seriously and follow all applicable laws and ethical guidelines, including
- HIPAA regulations for protected health information
- Oklahoma mental health law related to clinical care
- FERPA protections for educational records
We may only share information about a student’s counseling or referral status if the student signs a written release of information. Without written consent, we are legally permitted to release information only under the following conditions:
- There is imminent risk to the student or others
- There is suspected child or elder abuse
- We receive a valid court order
- Other legal mandates require disclosure
Students’ privacy is essential to creating a safe and trusting environment for healing and support.
