Counseling services are available to all full-time undergraduate students. Services are designed to assist students with social, emotional, academic and psychological issues so that they are able to remain in school and benefit from their educational opportunities to the fullest extent possible.
Services include short-term individual and group counseling, consultations with faculty and staff, referral services, special programs and crisis intervention. There are no fees for counseling services.
The principal aim of Counseling Services is to address the developmental and mental health issues of students from educational, therapeutic and preventative perspective. These services not only support the traditions of the Sisters of Mercy, but also reflect the philosophy of acceptance, respect, compassion and dignity. Counseling Services provides a confidential environment that is conducive to discussion of any concern or problem. This confidentiality is in accordance with legal and professional guidelines and standards of the state of Rhode Island.
