The CARE Center provides short-term counseling to help enrolled CCSU students develop personal strengths and become more effective personal managers. The CARE Center's counselors frequently help students to better understand, anticipate, and respond to concerns or experiences typical among college students . While there are no guaranteed outcomes to the counseling process, many people find it helpful.
Counseling is a process and is likely to be most effective through an active, working partnership.
During an initial meeting with a counselor, you can discuss your concerns, including any you may have about the counseling process itself. The counselor will seek to understand your concerns and expectations and will then suggest possibilities to meet your needs. Information shared by you will be treated confidentially. Ordinarily, counselors can only release information about you with your permission. CARE Center services are delivered in accordance with the Code of Ethics established by the Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Social Workers, and Family Therapists, including those ethics related to confidentiality.
