Counseling and Career Development Section of the Office of Academic Affairs at Yuan-Ze University
1.What is Referral?
When students encounter difficulties in their psychological, learning, or career aspects, after discussing with them, you believe that intervention from psychological counseling resources can more effectively help them alleviate their troubles. With the consent of the students involved, they are referred into the counseling system. This is what we call ' Referral '."
Psychological counseling is a journey that helps individuals better understand themselves and promotes personal growth. Counselors accompany students in addressing their emotions and challenges, engaging in collaborative discussions to determine the focus and depth of their work together. Through counseling, students gain insight into themselves, navigate life's challenges, and improve their ability to adapt to their surroundings.
2.When is Referral Needed?
Referral is necessary when a student displays the following signs, which may indicate underlying issues:
- Expressing thoughts of suicide in conversation or on social media.
- Suffering from prolonged emotional distress, including self-harm tendencies.
- Facing crises such as domestic violence, intimate partner violence, or gender-related incidents like sexual harassment, sexual assault, bullying, or stalking.
- Severe psychological distress or suspected mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, or panic disorders.

- Facing recent traumatic or distressing events (e.g., breakup, loss of a loved one).
