Counseling Center Services
During the summer months the counseling center does not offer ongoing weekly counseling sessions. The center is open for single sessions, consultations, referral services, and emergencies ( i.e. suicidal thoughts, thoughts of harm to yourself or others, symptoms of a manic episode, hearing or seeing things others do not).
If you are a student or guest on campus during the summer the counseling center can respond to mental health emergencies. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency during daytime office hours, please call our office at (630) 752-5321. If your call is not answered, please call Laura Howard in Student Development at (630) 752-5941 or Public Safety at (630) 752-5911.
If you are in residence on campus and experiencing a mental health emergency after office hours please reach your residence life staff, who will connect you with the counselor on call, or if you are on campus after hours but not residing on campus, call Public Safety (630) 752-5911.
