Most students are able to benefit within a few sessions.
If it is determined that a student needs or wants counseling for a longer period of time, we work with that student to arrange services outside of the college. We also provide outreach services to the Salem State College community, usually in the form of talks or presentations to groups of students in classrooms or residence halls. Sometimes we offer a series of talks that are offered to anyone in the college community. Recent topics have included stress management, bereavement, eating disorders, and relationship violence issues. Any Salem State College student can be seen in Counseling Services.
