Wellness Coaching
Counselors are available to meet on an individual basis with students seeking help. The student seeking counseling can talk confidentially about anything that is on his or her mind. Students seek counseling to deal with a wide variety of concerns including but not limited to: stress, anxiety, sadness, grief, family difficulties, relationships, self-esteem, loneliness, body image or eating concerns, interpersonal violence counseling / advocacy, and academic difficulties.
Programming
A part-time psychiatrist and psychiatry resident(s) are available at the Counseling Center on a limited basis (Wednesday afternoons) to provide assessment and medication monitoring for students engaged in counseling services. Any student using psychiatry services must all continue to use counseling services. If a student is interested solely in psychiatry, our office can provide off campus referrals.
Becoming a Peer Health Advocate (PHA)
The University Counseling Center now provides after hours crisis counseling by phone. For students needing mental health crisis help evenings or weekends, just call the Counseling Center: 216-397-4283. During the day (normal business hours), call or walk in to be seen right away for crisis, or schedule to get started with therapy.
Mission
To create a community that values the inherent worth of each individual member and works to provide the tools and right environment needed for each person to flourish. We accomplish this primarily through the areas of physical, lmental, and relational health.
Well-Being
The Office of Health Promotion & Wellness believes well-being is not just the absence of crisis or illness, but the presence of thriving. We utilize the well-being theory created by Dr. Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania for this framework. It focuses on the presence of positive emotions, engagement, positive relationships, meaning, and accomplishment.
