What does "wellness" really mean? This summer semester, some of our counseling students are exploring SAMHSA's 8 Dimensions of Wellness: emotional, physical, environmental, social, intellectual, financial, occupational, and spiritual. Every dimension plays a role to overall well-being and striking a balance helps support mental health and personal growth as a grad student, counselor, and beyond.

Happy Pride Month from our counseling community! We celebrate the strength and authenticity of the LGBTQ+ community and remain committed to creating spaces rooted in compassion, advocacy, and belonging. 🌈

As counselors-in-training, building a toolbox of grounding techniques is key.
The 5-4-3-2-1 method is a practical way to help clients, and ourselves, return to the present moment during times of distress.

Connection, advocacy, and compassion can make it easier for people to reach out and access the support they deserve.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re reminded that strong communities help reduce stigma and through advocacy, counselors help ensure clients are heard, supported, and able to access the services they need 💚

Congratulations, Class of 2026 graduates! We are all so proud of your resilience and dedication. YOU DID IT!! The compassion and energy you brought into the program and counseling spaces will create a lasting change in your students, clients, and communities. We can't wait to see all of your future success! 🎉

SAY THIS NOT THAT!
What we say matters more than we think! A few words can either open a door or shut someone down. Let's choose language that validates, listes, and uplifts. 💚
