Counseling Services is dedicated to offering our students a variety of ways to interact with our office! We wanted to highlight some of the ways we encourage students to prioritize different areas of their mental health through some of our outreach activities! What you see here is just a glimpse, so make sure to check out Anchored-In and our social media accounts to see what is going on in Counseling Services!
Coffee Convos
Coffee Convos are designed to encourage students to talk about relevant topics which impact mental health. Grab a free cup of coffee and a snack and let’s have a conversation about how to navigate different situations while prioritizing your mental health!
Life Hacks
Our Life Hacks series is designed to help our students adjust to the adult world by minimizing the mental, emotional and physical clutter that gets in the way. These tips and tricks for decluttering and staying organized are designed with our Neurodivergent friends in mind!
Expression Sessions
Being creative is a great way to express your emotions in a healthy way. It also allows you to relax and make something beautiful! Counseling Services offers Expression Sessions to provide students with an opportunity to do that. We bring the supplies, all you need to do is come and make the most out of this space where you can be brave and feel safe to express yourself!
Resilience Through Dark Times
Resilience Through Dark Times (RTDT), is an event hosted by Counseling Services in the Fall semester. It is an exhibit of student’s literary and visual arts based on the theme of Resilience. We offer Expression Sessions leading up to this event to allow students an opportunity to create their submissions. As students explore the art exhibit, sipping on sparkling cider and partaking of finger foods provided, they will hear song submissions from students that helped them remain resilient. At the conclusion of the exhibit, Counseling Services will tally the votes and announce the winners of “Pilot’s Picks” on their Instagram. The winners can come by Counseling Services to pick up their prize.
Neon Night
Join us on the dance floor in the Spring semester for our annual Neon Night! As part of building a sense of belonging and awareness of alcohol and other drugs, Counseling Services and our partners in Student Affairs bring you Neon Night! Enjoy the show, food, dancing, and games! Want to show off your skills? Join our Dance Battle for a chance to win a prize! Our winners won’t be the only thing shining underneath the blacklights as students and faculty sport their neon attire.
