Outreach Program Information
The Counseling Center offers a variety of outreach programs and workshops designed to support student well-being, promote healthy choices, and enhance the overall college experience. Through these educational and interactive programs, students gain practical tools and information that encourage personal growth, emotional wellness, and stronger connections with others and the campus community.
Our outreach programs focus on evidence-based information and skill development related to a broad range of concerns commonly experienced by college students. Presentations are available throughout the academic year and can be provided to student organizations, classes, residence halls, departments, and other campus groups.
Some of our commonly requested topics include:
- Stress management and coping skills
- Emotion regulation and resilience
- Healthy relationships
- Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries
- Interpersonal violence prevention and consent
- Mental health awareness
The Counseling Center maintains a variety of established presentations that are ready to be delivered on these and other topics. We also recognize that every group has unique needs and interests, and we are happy to work with faculty, staff, and student organizations to develop customized presentations or workshops tailored to specific goals, audiences, or events.
Whether you are looking for a brief educational presentation, an interactive workshop, or a program designed around a particular topic, we are committed to providing outreach opportunities that support the health and well-being of our campus community.
We strive to accommodate all outreach requests that align with our mission and staff availability. However, requests submitted less than two weeks before an event or during periods of high demand for counseling services may not be able to be fulfilled. To help us best meet your needs, we encourage outreach requests to be submitted at least three weeks prior to their desired presentation date.

For faculty and staff
The Counseling Center also offers outreach programs specifically designed for faculty and staff. These educational opportunities aim to enhance understanding of student well-being and provide practical guidance for supporting students in academic and campus settings. Offerings range from psychoeducational presentations on topics related to mental health, resilience, and student development to interactive question-and-answer sessions to help faculty and staff navigate challenging situations, respond to student concerns, and better understand available campus resources and referral processes. Programs may be tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of individual departments, teams, or campus initiatives.
