Training Mission Statement
The mission of the Counseling and Consultation Service is to provide a comprehensive array of mental health services to assess, treat, prevent, and resolve the mental health issues for OSU students. More specifically, we promote the personal well-being and academic success of students by providing comprehensive individual and group mental health services, psycho-educational prevention, and outreach programming; by influencing the community as a nurturing environment through support, advocacy and education/training; by enhancing the academic quality of life; and by supporting the emotional, relational, and intellectual development of the students served and the mental health professionals in training.
The Counseling and Consultation Service is a department within the Office of Student Life, with a mission of providing counseling and mental health services to The Ohio State University Campus. The 2008-2009 CCS staff includes 21 senior staff (12 psychologists, 3 psychiatrists, 3 counselors, and 3 social workers), 1 part-time dietician, 7 post-internship clinical fellows, 5 psychology interns, 2 social work interns, 2 clinical counseling interns, 1 psychiatric fellow, 1-5 practicum students, and 8 support staff. We also usually have adjunct clinical staff who help us provide some evening services.
Participants of all CCS's training programs are considered an integral part of the staff and are included in all functions of the agency. The CCS staff employs an energetic, innovative, and multicultural group of people who sustain the high level of activity necessary to meet the demands of a large university. Clinical service and training are given high priorities with room for staff members to pursue projects of particular interest to them. Administration of the center is decentralized, giving all staff members the opportunity to be involved in planning and decision-making.
The CCS is housed on the 4th floor of the state-of-the-art Younkin Success Center. The Success Center was designed to provide a variety of offices to support students' success at The Ohio State University. The other offices comprising the Success Center are: 1) Career Connection (a centralized career counseling office and a Career Resource Center), 2) the Student Athlete Support Service office (SASSO), and 3) Faculty and TA Development (an educational teaching and learning support office, which includes a state of the art academic learning lab).
