Department Information
The mission of the CMHCR is to enhance the academic and personal experience and success of all students by providing a variety of counseling and psychological services to students and the greater campus community. The Center accomplishes its mission by offering services that facilitate students personal development, assist in the alleviation, remediation, and prevention of distress, as well as services that educate students in ways that develop self-awareness, self-reliance, and self-confidence. These services are offered with respect for others, appreciation of individual differences, and compassion.

In addition to our main office in Smithgall Student Services, CMHCR also has counselors located at 6 satellite locations around campus. Having satellite locations provides students with access to counselors in academic spaces where they spend most of their time. This can improve help seeking by destigmatizing mental health to better serve those who would hesitate to go to the main Center for Mental Health Care and Resources (CMHCR) and support reaching students who might not have otherwise sought services.
