If you are worried about someone else
The Counseling Office clinicians are available for consultation with students, faculty, and staff who are concerned about a student. You may contact them through the Student Resource Center by phone (907) 796-6000 or email uas.info@alaska.edu to discuss your concerns and get support with how best to respond. This may include providing you ways to refer the student for professional care.
