A note from the
UCPS:
Hello student(s), parents,
faculty, and staff:
Thank you for browsing through
our website. We hope that the links provide you with helpful information.
The intention of our Alcohol,
Drug and Addiction Services is to provide the university community with a
resource for both those directly and indirectly affected by alcohol
and/or drug use or concerned about other lifestyle choices such as
excessive gambling and internet use (Campus Life Hot Topics).
Our services are offered through the University Counseling &
Psychological Services office. As a staff, we are able to meet with
students in a confidential setting to discuss personal choices and
concerns, determine whether engaging in particular behaviors is
negatively affecting personal goals and quality of life, and collaborate
together in identifying strategies to initiate change and develop a more
sustainable and healthy lifestyle.
Our services include a variety of
resources to assist students: brief individual counseling, group therapy,
consultation for those concerned about friends, and referral to community
resources. In addition, our staff is available to lead outreach
discussions (Outreach discussions list) on various topics including
alcohol and other drugs, gambling, and other areas involving lifestyle
choices. Below you will find links providing information on these topics,
contacts to community resources including Alcoholics Anonymous of the Lehigh Valley, Gamblers Anonymous, on-line screenings, and
suggestions on how to help friends.
We invite you to contact any of
the UCPS staff by phone or E-mail to answer further questions about our
services.
Sincerely,
University Counseling and Psychological Services
