UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
Counseling Services
Counseling Services
Our mission is to provide professional mental health counseling and consultation services for our campus community that:
- Incorporates a brief-therapeutic model with an emphasis on developmental counseling directed at helping currently enrolled students succeed in the university environment; coordinates referrals to off-campus professionals when specialized, more intensive, and/or longer term services are needed.
- Creates developmental programming to increase healthy lifestyle and coping behaviors.
- Provide leadership and advocacy for university mental health policy and initiatives.
Counseling Services does not provide long-term intensive counseling and psychotherapy. It is beyond Counseling Services' scope of practice to provide ongoing counseling and psychotherapy for students who may be diagnosed with a variety of serious, long-term psychiatric conditions, and individuals who appear to be a recurring high risk of harm to themselves or to the UW-River Falls community. These students will be referred to appropriate community resources.
