We offer crisis counseling in person, during business hours, and after hours, through ProtoCall. Students needing longer term service are offered referrals to other university and community agencies.
We also aim to serve the community while being part of the community. As community members with specialized training in working with the university population, we are knowledgeable about the special needs of students, faculty, staff. A large part of our community work focuses on prevention; we believe that increased awareness of healthy ways to cope with stress can help the UNH community and its individual members achieve their professional and personal goals.
