Counseling Requests
The Referral Process: The purpose of the referral process is to provide timely and effective support to initiate an appropriate plan of action for students at various levels of need. The Davis Support Team recognizes the contribution of all members of the school community including educators, parent/guardians, and students in the identification of early warning signs.
A “Tier 1” approach to support:
The purpose of this form is to provide the Davis community with a vehicle to refer students to Counseling Services who are displaying signs of distress. It is for more of a one-on-one approach with the student’s assigned counselor to address issues that can benefit from short term individual counseling, check ins and outs, etc. Our intention is to respond as quickly as possible to students in distress and, as much as possible, avoid crisis situations. While it is preferable for us to know who is referring a distressed student, you can remain anonymous if you wish. Every effort is made by the counselors Ms. Carrasco and Mrs. Alvarez to balance the need to protect the student’s well-being with the student's right to privacy. In keeping with professional and ethical guidelines, the information obtained is not shared with anyone without the student's consent, except in the case of medical emergency or potentially life-threatening situations.
