Counselor-In-Residence Program
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
