Guidance & Counseling

The Department of Counseling Services aims to provide quality counseling services, promote life skills training, education, and consultation, and provide appropriate referral services to the currently enrolled WVS Tubman University students, faculty, employees, staff, and volunteers who have sought counseling from our department. We strive to provide helpful and effective counseling services. Registered students at the university are to be the primary recipients of the counseling services offered. The Department's overall goal is to harness a welcoming environment that encourages intellectual and emotional growth and fosters personal and social learning and development. We aim to support the university's learning environment by promoting mental health for students. The center will utilize assessment, individual and group counseling, crisis intervention, consulting and referral, training, workshops, and outreach programs considering the campus's individual, cultural, and demographic diversity.
