Outreach Services

As a vital part of our center’s overall mission, the University Counseling Center is committed to mental health promotion, education, and prevention through community engagement and outreach. We strive to be visible and trusted partners to the broader WFU community by serving the campus beyond our offices, and being appropriately engaged in all dimensions of university life.

Outreach Requests

Outreach offered by the University Counseling Center encompasses a wide range of events from requesting UCC presence at your tabling event, requesting a psychoeducational workshop (Ex: “Managing Stress” & “Understanding & Navigating Imposter Syndrome”), and much more. 

To connect with us regarding an outreach event, please fill out the Health and Wellbeing Program Request Form linked below. This form connects any outreach programming requests to the UCC, Safe Office, Office of Wellbeing and Deacon Health to determine which office is most appropriate to follow up with you about the request. This form provides a current list of available workshops. Please note: These are requests, not guarantees. We ask that all requests are submitted at least three weeks before the event date you have in mind. You can expect follow up via email after you complete the form to gather additional information and confirm plans moving forward.

Interview Requests

WFU students often contact our office requesting to interview UCC staff regarding various mental health topics for class projects. The UCC staff strives to ensure clinicians have the availability to provide counseling/therapeutic care and outreach to our student population. When receiving a request, we often encourage students to utilize scholarly research and check in with a librarian or online database knowledgeable about mental health sources of information and see what emerging research there is regarding their topic. We do not schedule interview requests related to classes or class projects and strongly discourage utilizing our walk-in hours to meet this need.

Please direct any additional questions to our Outreach Coordinator, Dr. Katie Whitley (whitleyk@wfu.edu) or our Assistant Director for Community Engagement, Tiffany Longjohn (longjot@wfu.edu).
