Counselor-In-Residence Program

Become a CR 

 CR Annual Report: 2006-2007

The Counselor-in-Residence (CR) Program places doctoral-level and professionally supervised counselors/therapists directly into residence halls to address the mental-health concerns of residents and Residence Life staff.

The objective of the CR program is to support the academic and personal growth of students through the provision of on-site and easily accessed consultation and mental-health support services. Services include:

  • Preventative & Psycho-educational Programming
  • Supporting the counselor-on-call during emergency and crisis situations
  • Follow-up services to residents and staff following crisis situations
  • Consultation with Residential Life staff on mental-health issues
  • Brief counseling with residents and Residence Life staff, including:
    • Weekly “drop-in” hours
    • Appointments with self-referred and staff-referred students
    • “House-call” visits with students following staff referral
    • Group or individual follow-up sessions following disturbances in the residential community
