The Loyola College Counseling Center supports the academic mission of the College by providing services and programs that help students maintain their emotional well-being in order to achieve their educational goals. Our mission is inspired by the Jesuit philosophy of life-long learning, development of the whole person, self-reflection, values clarification, and spiritual development. As counselors, it is our goal to provide preventative, remedial, and developmental interventions to facilitate students' progress during their four years, and to aid students in the development of coping skills to deal with our diverse and changing world. We are active participants in the campus environment providing workshops, training, teaching, and outreach to students, and consultations to administrators, faculty, staff, and parents. It is our goal to help create and maintain a healthy and diverse community through relationship building, education, and crisis prevention. When crises do occur, it is our mission to provide timely intervention and garner community support to help alleviate any far reaching aftereffects. We make efforts to assess our work and its impact through evaluation and feedback, research, and staff discussions. We value and provide time for staff development and reflection. |
