Making a Referral
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at the Wellness Center recognizes that the college years are transitional years not just for students but also for their parents and family members. This transition, while an exciting and eventful time in each person's life, might create stress and unwelcome challenges. Below are a few resources that may prove helpful.
Supporting your Student
As your student moves through their college years, you will inevitably witness physical, emotional, intellectual, social and even spiritual changes. Although sometimes difficult to understand or appreciate, these developmental changes are part and parcel of the movement into adulthood. In many instances, a young person requires assistance in understanding or working through these life changes. During the college years, the entire family goes through a transitional period. Counselors at the Wellness Center can be of help.
Consultation with Parents/Family Members
The Wellness Center supports the academic regulations of Rollins College and does not issue excuses for missed classes for routine office visits. However, during their appointment, students can request a note stating that they were seen at Health Services. Students are encouraged to check their course syllabi for specific attendance policies set by their professors. The Rollins College Wellness Center follows the Serious and Contagious Disease Illness Policy. Students evaluated and treated off campus for serious and/or contagious diseases may submit medical paperwork/notes to Wellness@rollins.edu for review by the Director of Health Services.
