[quote=Anonymous]During our campus visits, some schools discussed how they intervene if they feel someone is falling between the cracks. One said that the Dean of Students has been known to knock on a kid's dorm room door if teachers are reporting a patterns of not showing up for class. I found that reassuring (though my daughther did not seem like the type who would do that...still college was new for all of us). I think people have to realize that health comes first. And people disabled by mental illness are sick. If your kid had cancer, you would not be worrying about their transcript. (I hope). Depression and eating disorders can have fatal consequences. If a child is too stricken to do their job (i.e. go to class, complete assignments), then they need intensive treatment and perhaps to take a break from college. Parents have to come to grips with that. This sh#! is real. [/quote]
