Serving Students, Faculty, Staff and Administration

Offers students and employees informal assistance in

where they can openly discuss individual or broader issues
without having those concerns shared without their consent.

• Help you develop options for resolving problems or conflicts in the workplace
• Offer a neutral perspective
• Prevent negative conflict through early intervention

What We cannot do:

• Keep records
• Testify at format legal proceedings
