With what types of concerns do the counselors help students?
Students come to counseling with a range of concerns. Many students have issues related to their normal development, such as identity or relationship issues. Others are dealing with more specific concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, childhood or adult trauma, loss, substance abuse, or eating and body image concerns. Some students are not sure what the problem might be—they just know they are having a hard time studying, concentrating, eating, sleeping, adjusting, or getting along in general. A counselor can help a student sort out what’s wrong and suggest ways for them to get back on track.
