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.
Suicide Prevention Training
Learn how to identify and help members of our community who are most in need of mental health services. As one part of the university’s approach to reducing suicide risk, the University Counseling Center offers monthly CampusConnect suicide prevention trainings through the Professional Development Center which are open to faculty, staff, and students.
