Mission Statement

The mission of Counseling Services is to enhance the emotional well-being of ERAU students. We believe that good mental health is a key part of overall health, and good health is essential to academic success! We support students' academic experience by providing brief mental health counseling and consultation services that help them identify barriers, improve coping, and achieve personal and academic goals.

Consultation is available to students, faculty, academic staff, and university administrators who are concerned about an unusual, problematic, or potentially harmful behavior regarding a student.

Faculty, academic staff, and university administrators who are in need of personal counseling can access services through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).

Counseling often involves the disclosure of sensitive and personal information. Professional ethics codes and state laws consider information discussed between a counselor and client (18 years and older) to be strictly confidential. Students under the age of 18 are required to have a Minor Authorization Form signed prior to receiving services.

Please note: We are unable to confirm or deny counseling attendance of any student without their written permission.
