“…It thus behooves counseling centers to continue exploring ways to address academic outcomes as a way to enhance overall wellness in their campus communities (Brunner et al, 2014). In fact, this finding, along with the finding that family represented a primary area of concern for so many different types of clients, may reinforce the belief that, to adequately support student success, college counseling clinicians ought to be knowledgeable about relevant student development theories and the larger educational contexts in which students function (Bishop, 2016).…”

“…The overall purpose of the present study, then, was to examine the presenting concerns of students who seek treatment in counseling centers nationwide, as assessed by the clinicians who met with the students for an initial evaluation. A broader examination of client concerns would produce knowledge that psychologists and other clinicians working in counseling centers could use to meet the needs of a modern counseling service, which has been said to require an understanding of “both the psychological development of traditionally aged students and the institutional environment where students live” (Bishop, 2016, p. 20; Webb, Widseth, & John, 1997). From a treatment perspective, this knowledge could inform and complement virtually all aspects of direct service delivery, including client assessment, case formulation, treatment planning, outcome monitoring, and outreach programming.…”

Despite growing evidence that a greater number of students are seeking counseling in college and university counseling centers throughout the United States, there is a dearth of empirical information about (a) the presenting concerns for which students seek treatment and (b) how these concerns differ according to client demographic factors. The purpose of this descriptive and exploratory study was to explore how counseling center clinicians categorize client presenting concerns, and how these concerns vary according to client demographics. Given the importance of client suicide within the field of college counseling, the frequency of suicidality as an identified presenting concern was also explored. A sample of 1,308 clinicians from 84 counseling centers rated the presenting concerns of 53,194 clients using the Clinician Index of Client Concerns (CLICC) after an initial consultation. Results of descriptive and nonparametric analyses indicated that the most prevalent concerns were anxiety, depression, stress, family, and academic performance, and that clients who belong to different demographic groups frequently present to counseling with broadly similar types of concerns. Furthermore, suicidality represented an area of concern for 8.4% of all clients, and it ranked 20 of 44 as a clinician-rated concern. Comparable rates emerged across the range of client demographic groups examined, although rates were notably higher for a handful of groups. The findings offer one of the largest and most generalizable descriptions of why college students seek counseling services, as determined by clinicians' evaluations of presenting concerns. Implications for research and clinical applications of the findings are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record

“…The positive advancements that have been made in college counseling service delivery provide credibility through a significant body of published research in scholarly journals, as well as through the development of professional organizations, the adoption of professional standards and accreditation processes, and the establishment of national databases (Bishop, 2016). Like other professional associations, the Association for University and College Counseling Center Outreach (AUCCCO) was formed as a way of bringing together individuals with shared interests to collaborate on moving professional goals forward (Esmaeili, Dehghan-Nayeri, & Negarandeh, 2013).…”

“…University and college administrators, faculty, and staff acknowledge that counseling centers do not solely exist for the delivery of individual therapy. Although counseling is still a primary function, centers are now asked to perform direct service activities more congruent with a community mental health model in which the campus and institution have psychological needs (Bishop, 2016). To meet the changing needs of students and campus cultures, counseling centers have had to modify how psychological services are delivered (Hodges, 2001).…”

It is widely acknowledged that demand for clinical services at university and college counseling centers (CCs) has increased over the last several years. CCs have had to adapt service delivery methods to meet the demand for services. One of the more recent developments in CCs lies in providing primary (preventive) interventions to the campus at-large through outreach and preventive programming. These interventions are aimed toward reducing demand as opposed to promoting services and gathering potential clients. This article describes changes in outreach delivery in 3 ways. First, descriptions of some of the more prevalent and proactive outreach activities are given. Brief explanations concerning the increased emphasis on social justice, large-scale events, campus partnerships, liaison programs, satellite offices-embedded models, uses of electronic and technological advances, postvention and community response, and topic-specific programming are given. Second, the changing administrative functions of those in charge of outreach at individual CCs is described. Last, a description of the establishment and ongoing need for a national organization for outreach administrators and professionals is outlined. Recent survey data completed by outreach professionals are also discussed, as are future directions and implications for how CCs quantify training and direct service activities.
