Remember, college crisis centres and counselors aren't just for those in crisis. Your daughter needs support and guidance too.

I've just had to tell an aquaintances they need help. It wasn't easy. But the good news is they agreed.

I told her that I was seeing all the difficulties she was dealing with and concerned. I did not suggest she was mishandling things nor that she could be ill. She does know about my own health however. I said I found seeing my doctor helpful anytime I was overwhelmed.

I think she took the hint.
