Faculty and staff members often interact with students on a daily basis and may be the first to notice a student's interpersonal difficulties, problems in academic performance, or be informed by other individuals about a student having problems. Also, students may seek out faculty and staff members for advice or assistance when they feel distressed, anxious, and/or depressed. Please review the following information to learn how the University Counseling Center can help you.
