5-year trends indicate consistent growth in service demand and provision across most of the major service areas. Number of outreach contacts decreased since last year, though number of outreach programs continued to increase. The following graph demonstrates this growth:
As a result of increasing demand, the Counseling Center is developing and utilizing creative solutions to increase service provision.
24 of 33 permanent staff engaged in traditional group treatment while 9 staff engaged in workshop spaces. 24 staff provided 567 group therapy sessions.
The Counseling Center provided supervision to 20 trainees in 2019-20. See Professional Development for additional information.
Mental Health Ambassadors increased programming by 58 percent from the 2018-2019 to 2019-2020 academic year. See Outreach for more information.
Through treatment teams, the Counseling Center brought innovative interventions and expertise to students.
The Addictive Behaviors Treatment Team provided 34 group sessions using evidence based approaches to address alcohol and drugs, as well as behavioral addictions (gambling, gaming, pornography, etc.). 39 students also attended groups focused on support, education and reduction of harmful behaviors.
The Eating Disorder Treatment Team worked collaboratively across campus with partners in Student Health Services and WellRec to provide critical interventions to students. The team saw a 17.8 percent increase in intakes and 44.1 percent increase in follow-ups.
The Interpersonal Violence Treatment Team created a policy for students seeking Counseling Center services who are in relationships in which IPV is present. The team partnered with the Women’s Center in several of the Domestic Violence, Stalking, and Sexual Assault Awareness Month events. Additionally, the IPV Coordinator worked with the Chrysalis Network to bring the Solving the Campus Sexual Assault & Dating Violence Puzzle conference back to NC State for the fourth year.
