All of these would fall under the area of General Outreach/Campus Events. If you would like a Counseling Center staff member to be present at your campus event to provide a means of support, sit on a panel, be available for consultation then this type of outreach request is right for you! 

Training / Workshops

The Counseling Center provides several trainings for the campus community includings trainings on suicide prevention, bystander training, and training on reducing microagressions. Trainings include:

  • Question, Persuade, Respond (QPR)-Suicide Prevention Training

Consultation

This area would include consultation to a student organization regarding a possible request for a workshop or presentation. Student groups desiring an outreach service are welcome to consult with Counseling Center personnel in order to determine which service would best meet their needs.
