Students Today

Join the EKU Counseling Center staff today for a workshop on Distress Tolerance. When life feels like you’re currently in the middle of an unfinished Jumanji game, your emotions can activate with a high degree of intensity. Changes in your daily routine and the people you’re around can lead to a mixture of emotions. These new experiences can be stressful. The tools provided in this workshop are aimed to provide you with skills to navigate these intense emotions and increase the positive experiences throughout your day.

We can all save lives. Just like CPR, QPR-Question, Persuade, Refer-is an emergency response to someone in crisis. The Counseling Center is offering training to ALL in the campus community: student groups, student organizations, departments, faculty, staff, and any other campus group interested in this leading suicide prevention program. QPR is listed in the SAMHSA’s National Registry of Evidence-based Practices and Policies.

Pathfinders is an affirming weekly support group for students who are first generation college students. At EKU, a student is considered "first gen" if they are the first in their family to attend a four-year university or if neither of their parents/guardians have completed a bachelor’s degree. Some first gen students may have older siblings who have attended college. This virtual group is provided by the EKU Counseling Center and is hosted through a secure video platform.
