The Coordination Section is a one-stop first point of contact for those seeking counseling, including students, faculty and staff members, and other concerned parties (parents, etc.). It is responsible for coordinating connections to appropriate support on and off campus.
(1) Coordination on and off campus
The Coordination Section coordinates with all campus help desks, off-campus support facilities, parents, and other resources to allow students and faculty and staff members to receive seamless support. We also offer consultation services to parents and other concerned parties who are struggling with how to find ways to helping the student.
(2) Early response
<Students>
The Coordination Section holds numerous activities including
Incoming Student Interviews for new students in May, Startup
Information Sessions for students having trouble earning
credits (including students returning to school after taking
time off) in September and March. Additionally, it approaches
students who have consistently been absent from a specific
class.
<Faculty>
We act early in coordination with workplace supervisors,
occupational health doctors, and off-campus support facilities
to allow faculty and staff members to be connected to the
support they need.
(3) Crisis response
We respond in coordination with the concerned on-campus departments in the event of an incident, accident, or suicide. We are responsible for coordinating a Post-Incident Response Team.
(4) Psychoeducational activities
We provide preventive and developmental support for students and faculty and staff members through classes, workshops, group activities, and distribute custom-made self-care resources (including information on self-care skills for promoting mental and physical health)
(5) Recommendations for campus-wide student and faculty and staff members support systems
We analyze various data in an effort to assess the needs of
students and faculty and staff members. We also offer
recommendations for creating necessary support systems in
coordination with other departments of the Campus Life and
Health Support Center.
*We cannot answer questions about a given student or faculty
and staff member’s use of the Campus Life and Health Support
Center without their permission (except in emergencies). We
