Campus Resources for Confidential Rape and Sexual Assault Counseling

Counseling and Psychological Services, 459-2628
Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS) has a diverse staff whose education, training and experience meet the highest standards of the field. They provide same-day services for students who are in crisis, including students who are in crisis due to rape, and/or domestic or relationship violence. Counselors are located in each of the colleges and at the CPS office at the Health Center.

The staff at CPS are sensitive to the needs of survivors of rape, as well as the concerns of their partners, spouses, friends, and families. A counseling psychologist listens with care to any concerns a student may have and can assist survivors to develop their own action plan by reviewing all available alternatives and options, and providing referral information to help support survivors in whatever they decide to do.

CPS counselors have a high level of experience and expertise counseling individual survivors of rape. CPS staff also have facilitated support groups on campus for rape survivors. CPS accommodates requests for gender matching for rape and sexual assault survivors.

In brief, the CPS staff are dedicated and well qualified to respond to the needs of rape and sexual assault survivors. In order to ensure that our counseling staff has the most up-to-date training and information about rape and counseling survivors of rape, Andrea Parrot, Ph.D., who is nationally recognized in the area of rape and rape trauma treatment, will present a two-day in-service training program for all of the CPS counseling staff this July.
