How to Schedule an Outreach

Reaching out to the campus community is an important means of promoting awareness and preventing problems before they arise. The Counseling Center provides programming focused on the needs of students that maximizes their potential to benefit from their academic experience. Given sufficient time and available staff, we will plan and deliver outreach programs, training, and provide consultation for various campus groups. Programs are aimed at helping students acquire new knowledge and foster personal and academic success.

Current Outreach Programs

The Counseling Center also schedules and participates in formal outreach events designed to reach out the UCF community and enhance the well-being of campus. Please contact the Counseling Center for a complete listing of programs, dates, times and locations.

Outreach Presentations and Developmental Programming

The Counseling Center presents programs that promote awareness, personal growth and educate students who may have concerns about social, emotional and academic difficulties. The Counseling Center responds to the needs of the UCF community by planning and delivering workshops, formal presentations, seminars, training and outreach to various groups on campus including classes, clubs and organizations, residence halls, athletic teams, resident assistants and orientation teams.
