CSU Counseling Services Information for Students about Counseling Services Kimberly Perkins, LPC, NCC, LAC Director of Counseling Services AH 109

Counseling is a means of gaining confidential help for problems or concerns from a trained professional. Someone safe to talk to who knows what they are doing. What is Counseling? Why do you think there is so much stigma around going to counseling? For next slide…why might someone seek out counseling?

Examples of student concerns Difficulty in relationships with friends or family Anxiety, can’t relax, poor sleep Missing your friends from back home Concerns about reaching academic potential Feelings of sadness, withdrawal, depression, irritability Concerns about alcohol or drugs Questions about dieting and body image Issues with food such as overeating or under-eating Examples of student concerns Have you ever known anyone struggling w/ any of these? Have you ever struggled w/ any of these?

Do I need to have a mental illness to see a counselor? NO. Seeing a counselor does not mean that you are “crazy.” Everyone can benefit from having a counselor, mentor, or advisor. Sometimes life is just confusing, sometimes overwhelming We don’t fix people, we listen, encourage, and make suggestions. Do I need to have a mental illness to see a counselor? It is not “taboo” for people to visit their doctor when they are physically sick. Why is it any different w/ mental health? Most mental health concerns are intangible. People are afraid of things that they can’t physically see and touch

Medication Counseling Services staff does not prescribe medications.

Are there time limits as to how long I can meet with my counselor? Counseling sessions typically last approximately 50 minutes The first session typically lasts between 60-90 minutes Although we do not have limits on the number of sessions, experience suggests that if counseling time is used well, most clients are able to make substantial progress in 5 to 7 sessions Are there time limits as to how long I can meet with my counselor?

Marijuana interferes with the very skills you need to be successful at school. Poor: concentration, short-term memory, knowledge acquisition, ability to organize thoughts, and judgment/decision-making.. Cognitive impairments resulting from smoking marijuana can last up to at least 28 days after an individual last smoked the drug. Marijuana used these days is much stronger so the negative effects are much stronger (ex. psychosis) This includes “WEED” and all other illegal drugs, including using someone else’s prescriptions
