The Centre for Counselling and Pastoral Services provides in vivo experience with clients. This year about 70 students will enjoy the facilities of the Centre. Last year we had over 2,000 sessions involving individuals, couples and groups in both official languages, and we responded to more than 1,500 telephone calls. The Counselling Concentration, through the Centre for Counselling and Pastoral Services offers services to individuals and to couples. The Groupwork and Family Concentration see families, and put on groups, tailor-made to serve the needs of the community, such as bereavement, self esteem, anger management, single parenting, etc.
All services are in both official languages.
The Centre for Counselling and Pastoral Services consists of three offices, approximately twenty counselling rooms, all equipped with two-way mirrors, video cameras and recorders. Clients arrive, wait in the waiting room, and then are seen into the very private counselling rooms by their counsellors. Because of the Centre for Counselling and Pastoral Services, all students are able to remain within their building, where they are attending to their academic requirements. It epitomizes the feeling of comradery and concern for the community. Come join us, and study under the unique conditions of Saint Paul University, where we treasure excellence.
