Program Description

Fellows co-lead one of the multiple interpersonal process, skills training, or support therapy groups offered at the Center each year. They lead peer psychoeducational training, conduct walk-in initial consultations, give outreach presentations, and treat individual clients and couples with a wide range of presenting concerns. Consultation and campus outreach activities may include classroom and student organization presentations, stress management and suicide response/education presentations; serving as liaisons to campus departments and organizations such as: university housing, Greek organizations, LGBT organizations, Multicultural Center, Office for Students with Disabilities, Student Health Clinic.
