Crisis Counseling
Western Counselors are trained to provide support and guidance in crisis situations. They are also connected to a variety of local resources that they can refer students to, if needed. A crisis may be caused by a death in the family, suicidal thoughts, loss of a job, medical issues or relationship changes. We are here to listen and to provide support.
If you'd like to arrange a visit with a counselor, simply call our Welcome Center at 1.800.322.9982 and request a counseling appointment.
