[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll add a tip.

Have your DC walk into the Student Health Center and the Mental Health/Wellness Center on each campus.  Gets them used to it and opens conversations about how to use each, how to advocate for oneself, what the protocols are and how these places are judgment-free and attuned to the the needs of the age group they serve.  My DCs are both in college now and this has paid dividends.[/quote]

What are they supposed to do once they "walk in?"   These places are very busy and often do not have enough time to adequately serve the students that actually go there.   Please do not encourage this.[/quote]

You're an idiot.  These places have lobbies, they have lots of posters listing types of help available, receptionists who are used to kids walking in, [b]some tours even take you there[/b].  Your poor kid, with that attitude.[/quote]

I've been on dozens of college tours in 7 different states;  large public, small private and everything in between.   NONE have actually brought the group inside the health center or mental wellness center.   ZERO of the tour guides have encouraged students to "walk i" and ask questions of the staff.[/quote]
