National Prevention Week, which focuses on preventing
suicide, will conclude Friday, May 17. The overall theme of “Inspiring Action.
Changing Lives” reminds us that there is something each of us can do to change
lives for the better. Counseling Services notes that the Missouri S&T
Suicide Prevention Training Program was designed to help faculty, staff and
students prevent suicide by teaching how to: identify people at risk for
suicide; recognize protective factors and warning signs of suicide; respond to
the signs and get help. Don’t wait. Take 15 minutes to complete the “Ask.
Listen. Refer.” training at www.asklistenrefer.org/mst.
Counseling Services Groups still accepting members
Counseling Services offers a wide variety of groups — safe spaces in which to gain awareness of self and others. The experience can reduce loneliness, normalize life events, promote change, and teach new skills. Groups help us learn how to connect with our own feelings while in the presence of others. Several of our groups are still open for students in April/May: Men’s Action Therapy, Test Anxiety, ADHD Support Group, Miners for Recovery, Graduate Support, Body Image, and Asperger’s Support. Stop by room 204 Norwood Hall for information or call 341.4211 to get the time and place for the next meeting.

The walk-in consultation service is for students seeking counseling services for the first time and students who have an urgent need to speak with a counselor before a scheduled appointment.

Walk-in Hours Schedule:
Mondays – Thursdays: 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.*
Fridays: 10:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.*
