The crisis intervention program is one of a wide range of counseling services provided without charge to USC employees and their families. Others include family and couples counseling and special employee session for university departments dealing with stress or morale problems in the workplace. We will see anyone who receives a university paycheck and their family members. The short-term service is limited to 10 sessions although the center will make referrals to other mental health professionals for longer term therapy. The counselors are available during normal business hours in University Village at 3375 S. Hoover St., Suite E., and also available Mondays on the Health Sciences Campus at the Keith Adminstration Building, although appointments are required.
Counselors can also set up sessions by appointment after business hours.
They are also available 24 hours a day to respond to major emergencies. Poverny emphasized that all services are strictly confidential and information divulged in sessions is not shared with personnel or administrative branches of the university.
