Individual Counseling provides opportunities for students/faculty/staff to discuss difficulties, thoughts, feelings, and concerns with the professional counseling staff, who help them solve or cope with their personal problems.

Crisis Management is designed to follow established guidelines in helping students face obstacles to life goals or traumatic situations that are, for the time being, insurmountable through the customary methods of problem solving.

Extreme psychological problems are referred to designated mental health professionals in the community. If you or other student/faculty/staff are in crisis (feeling suicidal or homicidal) Please call 870-575-8290. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

DCSW recognizes and respects the need for some students/faculty/staff to seek counseling services off campus. As such, we have connected with various providers across the city to give you additional options for receiving therapy when needed. Our office can make referrals to these providers at no cost to you. Please enquire at our office about this service.

Group counseling provides opportunities for students to participate with peers and professionals in exploring feelings, behaviors, and other common concerns in a supportive atmosphere to gain clarification and feedback, and to plan appropriate action. Some of the groups conducted are as follows:

• Anger Management/Conflict Resolution Counseling
• LGBTQ Counseling
• Grief Counseling
• PTSD Counseling
• Alcohol/Substance Abuse Counseling

In collaboration with the Student Health Center, the Counseling Center provides students, faculty and staff with special workshops, seminars and groups on alcohol, drugs, AIDS, sexuality, date rape, stress, mental health issues and personal growth. In accordance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989, DCSW is committed to the prevention of alcohol and other drug use/abuse on campus. The DCSW provides educational training and groups that address the health risks associated with alcohol-substance use. The DCSW substance abuse programs operate within the guidelines addressed in codes of conduct. Also, we partner with Rehab.com to help students who do not wish to use our counseling center.
