Case Management is not a substitute for counseling or mental health services, however, having the attention of a dedicated administrator may be the necessary touchpoint for a student to more clearly identify which resource they may benefit from in the short term.
Sometimes students are looking for Campus Resources available to them. You may also find the Student Concerns & Complaints page and the Quick Reference List for Student Concerns & Inquiries page helpful. But please feel free to inquire further -- we are here to help.
