Counseling Services

The school employs a full-time counselor who is a licensed clinical mental health counselor. The school counselor is on campus five days a week as well as by appointment and is also available for more urgent situations. Throughout the year, the counselor works with a variety of students as a trainer, facilitator and trouble-shooter. short-term counseling is generally available year round, and coordinates long-term support with our visiting licensed counselors. There are no fees assessed to individual students by any service she provides.

Health & Wellness Team

The Health & Wellness Team is comprised of both members of our student body as well as faculty. Each year, current Health & Wellness Team students nominate new students who will contribute novel ideas, energy, and a desire to help educate their peers on current wellness concerns. The philosophy of the health and wellness program reflects the notion that each student is able to make his or her own decisions; however, we want these decisions to be as educated as possible. Our team strives to educate students about relevant wellness topics through creative means including dorm presentations, monthly publications, all-student presentations, annual health fairs, and other interactive opportunities.
