The Student Counseling Center (SCC) offers individual counseling, brief treatment interventions, crisis assessments, and referral services to Jefferson students. The SCC also offers group psychotherapy and psychiatric/psychopharmacological services. The SCC also sponsors a variety of wellness workshops and health educational seminars throughout the year for students. The focus of these outreach activities is to provide wellness education, increase awareness of mental health issues, and promote primary prevention and self-care within the Jefferson community.
The SCC seeks to balance the needs of individual students with the needs of the Jefferson community as a whole. This balance implies an emphasis on short-term treatment and referral. While there is no defined session limit, counselors follow a brief treatment model.
