How to Help Your Student
- Encourage counseling. Students must schedule their own appointment. They can call the Student Counseling and Resource Center (SCRC) appointment desk at (636) 949-4541 or come into the office. The scheduling process can be done independently, or with the support of a friend, family member, faculty or staff member.
- Curious about confidentiality? The SCRC cannot share information with you about your student, unless a release of information is signed by the student granting the SCRC permission to do so.
