“It sounds like you are dealing with a tremendous amount. The counseling center can really help with these concerns.”
“I appreciate that you feel comfortable talking to me about important things, however, the counseling center staff is trained for these concerns. Let’s call their office and see what appointments are available.”
“I can give you a list of some resources that may be helpful to you and the counseling center would be a great resource to help you process some of these concerns you have.”
“Unfortunately, I’m not trained/do not have the skills to guide you, but my friends at the counseling center do/are.”
“The Counseling Center may also have resources I do not have access to.”
“I am really concerned and don’t feel I would be doing my job if I did not call to talk with the counseling center about my concerns for you. Do you want to stay here while I call? We can see what they may have to offer.”
