Outreach

The University Counseling Center is committed to creating a psychologically safe environment for all students, faculty, and staff. Outreach encompasses the ways in which the counseling center is involved in the campus as a whole, outside the confines of the clinical setting. We take an active role in the primary prevention of mental health distress through our outreach efforts. 

Our outreach efforts include: 

• Raise awareness about psychological issues
• Provide education about university mental health and managing psychological issues 
• Challenge ideas that contribute to social inequity, disempowerment, and discrimination
• Empower students, faculty and staff to find and use their voices in a healthy and productive way

Given the increasing demand for clinical services over the past five years, outreach has become essential in ensuring that all students benefit from mental health support. Our ready-made and tailored presentations for classrooms, student groups, and faculty and staff play a crucial role in mental health education and prevention, facilitating referrals to clinical services and promoting overall mental wellness.

Please submit your request 2 weeks in advance of the event or presentation you are hosting. While every effort will be made to fulfill outreach requests, The University Counseling Center cannot ensure that every request can be accommodated.
