Counseling Services |
Counselling Services at Crescendo College offers the opportunity for all currently-enrolled students to meet with a licensed counselor to determine the most appropriate course of treatment, at no charge. At the conclusion of this interview, the clinician will recommend appropriate services. These services may be on campus in the Counseling Center, elsewhere on campus (e.g., Student Health Center, Office of Accessibility, Advising Services, of the Career Center), or a referral to the community. Services available within the Counseling Center include individual counseling, group therapy, couples and family counseling, prevention, and the opportunity for outreach and consultation. We also offer a variety of services through the Career Center. |

Erase the StigmaErase the Stigma is a program that is done each semester on campus. It is a panel discussion about breaking the stigma related to mental illness and disabilities through education and dialogue. Panelists will include students with a mental illness, learning disabilities, and physical disabilities and staff members from the Counseling Center and The Office of Accessibility. They will share their stories of living with a mental illness, learning disabilities, and physical disabilities and address stereotypes, offer information on resources, and answer questions from the audience.
All students in the Crescendo Transition: Piano course are required to attend one of the Erase the Stigma panels to help our student body gain awareness of disabilities on campus By raising awareness on campus, it will help create a campus environment that is more welcoming for students with disabilities Doing so many help students feel comfortable asking for help, reaching out to peers, and receiving the help they need. |
Mandatory CounsellingAs part of the Crescendo Transition, students are required to attend one, 1-hour counselling session per year during the Fall semester.
We require this to ensure that if our students need psychological help, they are receiving the services that they need and have more self awareness. Sometimes awareness along can help students perform better in academics and beyond Another reason we require students to attend a counselling session is to raise awareness on campus of mental illness, and erase the stigma that some students may have. Lastly, we require students to attend one counselling sessions a year for 3 years because there may be some students that don't feel comfortable going for help when they need it. This helps take the ownership off of the student that many be anxious about asking for help, and giving them an opportunity to receive it, hopefully opening up opportunities for subsequent visits if they are needed. |
