Assisting Students in Distress
Please refer to our Students in Distress Emergency Guide to provide you with important information and resources.
Faculty and staff are often the first to recognize when a student may be struggling or in distress. If a student shares concerns with you or you notice changes in their behavior, the Wellness Center offers counseling and psychological services that can help support them. You can help refer a student or point them in the direction of the services here.
We encourage faculty, staff, and students to refer anyone they are concerned about to Counseling & Psychological Services (CPS). During regular office hours, contact CPS to speak with a counselor. In an emergency, contact Rowan Police at 856-256-4911 and request the counselor on call. Individuals may also call the Wellness Center at 856-256-4333 and follow the prompts to connect with the on-call counselor after hours.
QPR Training
Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) is a 90-minute suicide prevention training that teaches participants how to recognize warning signs, respond to someone in distress, and connect them with support. Sessions are available in-person or virtually for students, faculty, and staff. To inquire, email Allie Pearce at pearce@rowan.edu.
Crisis Services
Students in crisis can visit the Wellness Center during office hours to speak with a REACH Counselor. After hours, call 856-256-4333 to reach a counselor, or contact Rowan Police at 856-256-4911 and request the Counselor on Call.
