USF Lakeland Announces New Counseling Center

LAKELAND, FL (September 11, 2003) - Are you a student in need of direction in life or are you stressed out about school? Do you just need someone to talk to? The USF Lakeland campus has someone available to help you through their new Counseling Center. The Counseling Center has been established to promote individual health and to help students resolve problems affecting their personal lives as well as performance in school. The Center is open to all PCC and USF students attending classes on the Lakeland campus, as well as faculty and staff.

The professionally trained staff of the Counseling Center is available to assist in improving self-awareness, exploring personal concerns, improving learning skills, making lifestyle, academic and relationship decisions. There are no fees for services provided at the Counseling Center. Counseling is available for individuals, couples or groups by appointment or on a walk-in basis, for individuals whose concerns require immediate attention.

"We recognize the majority of our students are adults with careers and family, who want to further their education as well," stated Susan Hurley, Specialist in Student Counseling for the Lakeland campus. "With all there is to manage, day to day stress and/or anxiety can become a problem. We hope, by establishing a counseling center on the Lakeland campus, we can help students, faculty and staff who may be struggling with issues about school, family, work or anything else that may hinder them."
