The end is in sight!

Can you believe that the end of the semester is upon us? At this point, our counselors are working with students on problem-solving for the remainder of the semester and planning for the summer. If you are thinking about pursuing therapy while you are at home for summer break, check out our Off-Campus Referral resources page for tips on how to locate a therapist outside of the Geneseo area. The summer is also a great time to read a self-help book; browse through this annotated bibliography of books available in our Self-Help Lending Library for some ideas.

Finally, please note that Counseling Services will be CLOSED for clinical appointments this summer (June 6th through August 7th). During this time, the Administrative Director of Health & Counseling, Melinda DuBois, will still be available for any questions or consultations via calling 585-245-5716.

Best wishes for a successful end to the semester!
