Counseling Center Consultation Program
Mental health consultation assists university constituents to more clearly perceive, understand and act upon a problematic environmental event or interpersonal circumstance impacting student life. Liaison services are available to University divisions, academic departments, system groups and individual faculty and staff upon request. These services contribute to an effective learning environment by facilitating faculty early intervention with students manifesting emotional and/or behavioral concerns. To request consultation services, please call 974-2831.

 
 

Consultation Prevention Services

Prevention services facilitate early identification of environmental stressors which detract from student interpersonal effectiveness and academic achievements. Prevention-focused processes include psycho-educational programming, and referral assistance. The Counseling Center Community Liaison Program was developed in an effort to provide educators with informational resources appropriate to facilitating a course of action for circumstances involving student incidents of disturbance or an unanticipated crises impacting the learning environment. Administrators, faculty and staff are encouraged to invite a liaison representative to committee and department meetings to briefly introduce the Program and its services and to identify prevention and intervention system resources

Consultation Intervention Services

Consultation-intervention services assist faculty and administrators in determining an appropriate course of action for students expressing violence toward self or others. Intervention-focused processes include environmental risk assessment and referral intervention. In the event of a traumatic or disruptive event impacting a group of community members, consultants are available to assist designated authorities in the reporting of public record information and to prescribe potential impact on the learning environment and referral resources specific to need. In the event of a system-wide mental health alert, the Counseling Center will provide assistance consistent with the recommendations and protocol of the University Emergency Preparedness Plan. If necessary, Center professionals will initiate and facilitate a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) established with local community agencies.
