Campus Services

Our campuses are here to serve our diverse student body with a wide range of behavioral health programs and services. Each campus is equipped with a dedicated group of mental health professionals who understand that supporting students’ emotional health and well-being contributes to their academic and personal success.

  • Clinical staff includes licensed counselors, psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, and nurse practitioners who provide high-quality treatment services.
  • Behavior Intervention/CARE Teams respond to crises and provide a safety net of support to keep at-risk students enrolled.
  • Public health and health promotion specialists contribute prevention programming to support the overall well-being of all students. Our shared goal is to provide safe and healthy learning environments to help all students be successful.

Open All

Counseling is a process in which students meet with a trained mental health professional who can help them sort out concerns, assist in decision making and help them develop and achieve their personal goals. The counselor facilitates a working partnership which allows students to improve their skills, begin to resolve their concerns and gain a deeper understanding of themselves. Counselors can also teach students life skills and coping strategies for handling challenges today and in the future.

Many students can benefit from counseling services. Most students face normal developmental concerns and academic pressures while in college and at times may feel anxious, angry, sad, or depressed. Students come to counseling to get help with resolving conflicts, solving problems, handling crisis situations, making decisions, understanding self, understanding others, and developing better coping skills. Counselors are trained to assist them in doing so. 

Our campuses are composed of licensed and trained mental health professionals with backgrounds in psychology and professional counseling. Each counselor has a different counseling style and varies in their technique; however, students may expect that their counselor will:

  • Listen and take their concerns seriously.
  • Help them remove barriers to achieve their personal goals.
  • Maintain the highest ethical and legal standards of counseling practice.
  • Answer questions directly and honestly.

Refer to the campus directory to schedule an appointment to meet with a counselor on your campus.

Refer to the UW System Employee Well-being website for resources available for staff and faculty.

Counselors can’t prescribe medication, but each campus makes available medical professionals—primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, and/or psychiatrists—who can evaluate whether medication may be helpful in treating your concerns.
