Guide for Faculty and Staff
Role of Faculty and Staff
Students may often experience compounded stress due to issues such as academic, social, family, work, financial or other concerns. Faculty and staff members are often in a situation to identify students who are experiencing difficulties. To make our services successful we need the support and assistance of Sheridan’s faculty and staff. Although most students come to Counselling Services on their own, you may be the first to recognize that a student requires assistance. Students turn to you out of respect for your position as a faculty or staff member, and students take your recommendations or referrals very seriously. If you would like to learn more about our services please contact us directly at your campus.
Counsellors
Sheridan Counsellors are trained and experienced in a range of counseling modalities and teaching and learning techniques. Our strength-based solution-focused approach with students is respectful, confidential and success oriented. We teach and empower students to develop their strengths in order to achieve goals, solve problems and maintain balance.
