Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 10 years college counseling centers (CCCs) have been urged to broaden their focus considerably and to serve the entire campus community due to increases in student mental health issues. Engaging in outreach efforts is one way to address campus wide needs. However, few research efforts have been conducted to systematically investigate how outreach is practiced at a small college. The dialogue around outreach has focused on single programs at large institutions rather than the network of interventions that occur on a campus. The purpose of this study is to understand the web of relationships between a counseling center and the college community. This qualitative case study describes the various outreach activities of a small college counseling center from the perspective of the counseling center staff and members of the college community. Using ethnographic tools (i.e., semi-structured interviews, focus group, and context analysis), this study describes the different systems the counseling center navigates to serve the college campus. The study identifies how members of a counseling center develop a shared pattern of outreach behavior. This study adds to the literature in several ways: it increases our understanding of how a small college counseling center supports the campus community and provides a model or framework for how outreach is performed on a smaller campus.

Download or read book University Counseling Center Practices Regarding Guidance on the Health Effects of Religious spiritual Involvement written by Adam Joel Mrdjenovich and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assessed the perceptions and practices of mental health professionals at university counseling centers regarding their provision of guidance on the health effects of religious/ spiritual involvement. The membership of the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors was used to identify a national cross-section of university counseling centers. One licensed psychologist, professional counselor, or social worker from each counseling center was selected to survey (N = 623). A valid and reliable survey instrument was developed, and a three-wave postal mailing procedure was used to maximize the return rate. A total of 306 university counseling professionals (58%) responded. They agreed that religious/spiritual involvement has a positive influence on the health and well-being of college students (77%), but were unsure or disagreed (66%) that university counseling professionals should advise clients as such. Approximately one-third (31%) had never seriously thought about doing so. The respondents were predominantly (52%) "unsure" that guidance on the health effects of religious/spiritual involvement would result in lower health risks; however, nearly half (48%) indicated that such guidance would promote recovery among their clients. Although slightly more than half (54%) of the responding university counseling professionals discussed the salutary influence of religiosity/ spirituality with the majority of their clients (e.g., provides a means of coping with stress, offers social support, contributes to a sense of well-being), relatively few (21%) discussed the physical health effects of religious/spiritual involvement. The most frequently endorsed perceived barrier was that discussions of religiosity/spirituality and health "should occur only with clients who indicate that religion/spirituality is important to them" (67%). A plurality (35%) of the respondents had received no formal training in this area. Respondents who had received information/training from at least one source, as well as those who indicated higher levels of personal religiosity/spirituality, were significantly more likely to be in the action or maintenance stage and to report higher efficacy expectations and more positive outcome expectations regarding the provision of guidance on the health effects of religious/spiritual involvement. Implications and recommendations for clinical training, university counseling centers, and future research are discussed.
