College can bring a number of firsts away from home that can be disruptive to one's life (e.g. 失去所爱的人, 关系冲突, changing mood and/or eating behaviors, 改变人生计划, etc). Talking with a counselor will help increase a student's perspective on the status of their situation.

After an (initial) intake session, 学生将被分配一名临床工作人员进行所有后续访问. How many sessions and how often a student meets with their assigned clinical staff member varies depending on the level of need and will be re-evaluated by the clinical staff member during each session. Our goal is to work with each individual person to develop an effective treatment approach that includes goals, 策略, 以及充分解决这些问题的时间框架. 可能需要就额外服务提出建议.

是的，YCP咨询服务有需要的电子表格. A link to the forms will be sent to the student by email for completion and must be completed before their scheduled appointment. 学生 will be required to update their information at the beginning of each new semester. Throughout the semester and on occasion, 学生可能会被要求填写一份表格来跟踪他们的健康状况. All forms completed become the student’s clinical record which are saved for ten years and are separate from academic records. These records are confidential and stored on a confidential electronic filing system which is only available to 咨询服务 staff members.
