Outreach Programming

What kind of outreach services does Counseling & Psychological Services provide?
Counseling & Psychological Services offers a variety of outreach services to the university community, including students, faculty, and staff. These services include consultation, referrals, training, participation in community events, and educational programs for a variety of mental health issues.

What is mental health outreach programming and what is its purpose?
Mental health outreach programming involves providing education and heightening awareness about psychological and personal development issues that college students commonly face. We achieve this through educational presentations, workshops, and mental health screenings.

The purpose of outreach programs is to educate students about various mental health issues, familiarize the community with our services, reduce the stigma associated with seeking counseling, and assist students in getting appropriate services to address emotional and developmental concerns. Outreach programming is particularly important because it allows us to serve a larger number of people than would otherwise be possible.
