What Happens for a Student at the Counseling Center?
Students should make appointments themselves when possible. If you are meeting with the student, you may help him or her with this process by offering the use of your telephone. During the first visit to the Counseling Center, the student will complete some basic information forms before meeting with a counselor. This often takes about 10-15 minutes. In meeting with the counselor, the student will have the opportunity to talk about issues that are of concern to him or her. The counselor will assess the needs of the student, and present ways that the Counseling Center may be able to help meet these needs. Services at the Counseling Center are provided free of charge, and information is kept confidential.
If it appears that the student is in crisis and needs to be accompanied to the Counseling Center, you might consider accompanying the student yourself. Our offices are open 8:00-5:00 Monday-Friday. We have an on-call counselor available at all times. If the student arrives at the Counseling Center in crisis the receptionist will arrange for the student to meet the on-call counselor as soon as possible. If you have a crisis with a student after business hours, you can contact the Campus Police (912.478.5234) and they will page the on-call counselor.
