Each semester Counseling Services offers group workshops to bring together people who want to work on specific areas or issues. Topics for groups include stress management, assertiveness, eating problems, men's and women's issues, relationships and family issues. Groups are limited and last for about an hour to an hour and a half each session. Consultation Counselors are available to consult with faculty, staff and students on a variety of issues. Faculty members or staff sometimes wish to consult a counselor about a student who may seem to be in particular distress.
Students often ask for help with their concerns about friends.
Counselors can also help individuals who are having difficulty communicating with one another. Time management Adjustment Programs have been provided for Residence Life, Information Services, and the Athletic Department, as well as other departments within the University. The Counseling Services will work with any department that wishes to do programming to meet that department's particular needs. Emergency Services A Counseling Services staff member is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week during the school year for emergency psychological services. In the event of an emergency after regular working hours, an on-call person from the Services can be reached through the Residence Life staff.
