A health care provider can help to reduce situational stress factors for individuals.Providing the student with a list of resources is one way to begin this process,as part of secondary prevention strategies.This is not a medical or psychiatric emergency,so calling 911 is not necessary.Not everyone who has sadness needs medications;some need counselling only.Not enough information is given to indicate whether leaving the university is the best solution for the student.
