General information, psychological evaluation and assessment, and long-term therapy are available by referral. Crisis intervention and emergency counseling is provided as appropriate. Confidentiality is maintained and no information will be shared without written consent. Students are encouraged to stop in or call for an appointment. Students receive training in basic listening and helping skills and are available for their peers.
Support is provided through faculty and staff mentors and on-going training.
New members are selected through an application process each spring and the membership is posted around campus. Students are encouraged to contact one of the Pals as needed. The goal is to identify problems as early as possible and help the student find a solution. As a faculty member and advisor, you may become involved with Project Hope in several ways, especially if you advise new students. If you become aware of a problem and have already talked with your advisee about it with no apparent change, you are encouraged to make a referral to Project Hope.
