Services
Students who wish to schedule an appointment with a counselor can contact Behavioral Health and Resource Services (BHRS) by calling (386) 481-2172 or by completing the . Walk-in appointments are also available between the hours of 9:00am - 4:00pm.
Due to increases in demand during busier times of the school year, same-day appointments may not be available, and there may be wait times for walk-in services. We urge students to utilize walk-in appointments only for urgent situations and to schedule appointments for all other concerns. If you are in crisis, please inform the support staff and we will make every attempt to respond to you as soon as possible.
Students will receive an appointment reminder email the day before their scheduled session. While we understand that emergencies and unexpected circumstances happen, we ask that students contact us to cancel as far in advance as possible. This allows time for staff to offer available time slots to other students in need.
Frequent no-shows and cancellations can lead to a disruption in the progress of therapy. Students who miss more than two consecutive appointments must contact BHRS to re-initiate therapeutic services.
To protect the health of the BHRS staff and other students, students who are sick are strongly encouraged to reschedule in-person appointments.
The initial contact appointment is a brief session where clients will meet with a BHRS counselor, who will assess their reported concerns and make recommendations for care. Depending on the concern, the counselor may provide a brief single-session service or make additional recommendations. Recommendations may include individual, relationship, a group or workshop, a referral to resources in the community, accommodations via resource services, or self-paced learning.
If BHRS services are appropriate, students will be scheduled for an intake appointment with a counselor to complete administrative procedures for admission; gather relevant history; discuss program goals and objectives; inform the student of program rules, discuss his/her rights, and review rules of confidentiality.
The goal of individual counseling is to provide short-term support to increase insights and gain skills to more effectively navigate challenges and stressors. BHRS offers brief therapy services that typically range from 4-8 sessions. Students will collaborate with their counselor to establish goals for counseling and determine the appropriate number of sessions needed to address their concerns. Appointments are typically scheduled weekly or every two weeks based on treatment goals and appointment availability. If at any time the counselor determines other services are better suited to the student’s needs (such as longer-term therapy, assessment, or a higher level of care), Counseling Services will provide a referral for off-campus services.
When appropriate, brief, focused relationship counseling services can be provided. Sessions may focus on healthy communication, conflict resolution, and skills to create healthy interpersonal relationships. Services are available to friends, roommates, and individuals in romantic relationships. To receive relationship counseling services, each person must be a student enrolled in 明星黑料.
Groups provide an environment where students with similar goals can support one another as they build communication skills, and learn to give and receive feedback in a constructive environment. Students can learn from each other, share their unique perspectives, and gain a
