Peer Intervention Strategies
Many students are unsure how to assist friends who struggle with abuse, addiction, mental health issues, unplanned pregnancies or other concerns that may require professional intervention. This brochure, (PDF) produced by the Offices of the Dean of Students, discusses how and when friends can assist friends. In addition to listing common warning signs and resources for professional help, it also discusses how to manage the personal concerns that may surface when trying to assist a troubled friend.
