Meet Them Where They Are: An Outreach Model to Address University Counseling Center Disparities
Journal of College Student Psychotherapy, v34 n3 p240-251 2020
Although University Counseling Centers continue to report increased rates of served students, those who holdĀ marginalized identities continue to be underrepresented. Many factors may contribute to such discrepancies, including stigma, access, and trust in providers. College students across the nation have recently called for an increase in the number of professionals who identify as racially/ethnically diverse. The current article reviews one university's response to their own students' call for action, and particularly explores how the program was implemented and its associated costs and benefits. Considerations for other university administrators seeking to employ similar methods are discussed.
