Counseling Center: Outreach

WSJ Ranking The RMU Counseling Center believes that education and outreach have the potential to empower and resource individuals to take ownership of their mental health. We know that this journey is deeply personal and never complete. Our goal is to educate, support, and connect students to mental health resources.

Please follow us on social media for up-to-date information about campus outreach programs and events focused on mental health and wellness.

Educational Programs and Workshops

We provide outreach (through workshops, presentations, tabling, panels, etc.) for student groups, faculty, and staff on important topics for student well-being. We have a variety of educational programs and workshops, but can also create customized outreach specifically for the unique needs of your group.

  • An overview of the RMU Counseling Center/Thrive
  • Alcohol, Drugs, and Substance Abuse
