Is the student a danger to self or others? "NO" 

I am not concerned for the student’s immediate safety, but they are having significant academic and/or personal issues and could use some support.

Is the student a danger to self or others? "I'M NOT SURE."
 
The student shows signs of distress but I am unsure how serious it is. My interaction has left me feeling uneasy and/or really concerned about the student.
