The Office of Counseling Services exists to support and promote optimal mental health for the students of Blackburn College.
Students seek counseling for a variety of reasons.
Common reasons for meeting with a counselor are to cope more effectively with stress, learn how to relax, clarify goals, deal with loss, increase self-confidence, ease anxiety, and learn good mental health habits. The goal of counseling is to initiate and facilitate effective change in a person's everyday life. Students typically finish the process with new insights, different behavioral responses, enhanced relationships skills, and a stronger sense of responsibility for their own lives. The office provides numerous resource materials that cover issues of concern to college students. Brochures and articles address topics including communication skills, time management, assertiveness, depression, acquaintance rape, grief and loss, sexuality, eating disorders, and other mental health topics.
