Counseling and Mental Health Center The University of Texas at Austin

One of my tasks at the beginning of the school year is giving a presentation about our clinical system to our new class of interns. This often involves explaining how our center came to do what we do Traci Callandrillo and what we don’t do. Our discussion renewed my awareness of

the important, yet often unnamed factors in the work we do: counseling in our niche of the psychological profession, i.e., providing mental health services to college students, is a rich and nuanced blend of science, application, and street smarts that is rarely articulated as the unique practice it is. As the clinical services director at CMHC, I often spend time talking with parents, faculty, and students about what we do in our center. Sometimes the questions that seem the simplest can lead to the most complex discussions. “Why can’t you see me for long-term therapy here on campus?” “Why (Continued on page 3)

gramming: The CHOICES Campaign, Nikki Pritchett, Positive Psychology and Consultation: Enhancing, Educating, and Empowering, and John Wade, Using Appreciative Inquiry with Counseling Center Staff. Our thanks to these presenters for an uplifting and thought-provoking presentation. The Section also had the opportunity to host a luncheon followed by a roundtable discussion and business meeting. See pages 11 and 12 for pictures from the convention. The annual Section awards selections this year yielded four recipients. Many qualified professionals were nominated and a tie actually occurred for the top honor. Two incredibly deserving psychologists, with very different contributions to the profession, were presented the award for Counseling Center Psychologist Outstanding Contribution to Counseling Center Work: David Gilles-Thomas and Jennie Cassidy. Our congratulations to Dr. Gilles-Thomas, who has been employed by Counseling Services at State University of New York at Buffalo since 1992, for his development, in collaboration with Wendy Settle, of the Counseling Center Village. This valuable resource for counseling center professionals received approximately 80,000 hits in the past year. Dr. Cassidy was awarded for her 14 years of service at the Appalachian State University Counseling and Psychological Services Center which included developing an internship program, coordinating outreach, and serving in national leadership roles. The award for Counseling Center Early Career Outstanding Contribution to Counseling Center Work went to D. Robert Davies who has been with the University of Utah Counseling Center since 2003. He was particularly recognized for his commitment to group work, outreach, and faculty education. Patricia Stankovitch received the award for Counseling Center Graduate Student/Intern Outstanding

Contribution to Counseling Center Work. She demonstrated creativity and responsiveness to the needs of her campus via creating a physical education presentation for all incoming students. I was fortunate to attend a meeting at APA with our current Division 17 President, William Parham, who spoke of his vision for the division. His goals include (1) giving back to the community, (2) mentoring others, and (3) tapping into talent within the division. All of these goals involve creating community and fostering communication, and I believe that enhancing connections and communication are worthy goals for our section as well. Working in college and university counseling centers is challenging work, and these connections can certainly assist us with our professional duties as well as our personal self-care. One of our awards winners, David Gilles-Thomas, wrote the following comments as he was expressing his thanks for his award: “I learned very early on that you are never alone in this work. There are always colleagues to join with, work with, and create things that never would have been possible on one’s own. Believe in possibilities, and things often turn out to be possible. Trust in the best of each other. And don’t forget to play.” This is excellent advice and we welcome all new members, including student affiliates this upcoming year. I would like to call your attention to our web site at http://www.div17.org/scucc for more information, including membership information. Please consider renewing or joining for the first time. As we strive to develop professionally, this section provides listserv connections, research opportunities, and will be focusing on enhancing our website this next year.

didn’t you just send that student to the hospital?” “My son just needs to be called to set up an appointment, can you give him a call? I know he’ll be glad he came in after he talks with you.” Sometimes, especially at the points during the school year when all of our staff feel overwhelmed with the need of services presented day after day, I’ll admit to a wish that we could just put up a sign that says “No Vacancy.” But that’s not why we’re here. I believe our mission, as psychologists working in counseling centers, is to keep at that goal of responding to students with the best of what we can offer, as much of time as possible. I feel energized by the possibility of doing more with what we have, while also advocating for increasing our resources. I also believe that it is our work to articulate the boundaries of sound practice for our campus, as we cannot do everything effectively at the same level of service. We get closer to that intersection between efficiency and depth of resources by articulating the need and the plan for delivering service. As a specialty area, I am proud of all that college mental health practitioners have learned and continue to develop in finding this intersection. Mental health service delivery on a college campus is a tricky thing. First, we must practice as generalists in the most sophisticated sense of the word our staff have to be ready to treat a very wide range of symptoms and levels of functioning in a diverse population who have disparate and sometimes overly- (or under-) informed opinions about their ideal treatment. We need to be familiar with a medical model of mental illness, human development, college student personnel theories, cultural competencies, family systems factors, cognitive

development and learning styles, and the physiology of early adulthood. And that’s not even including the therapeutic conceptualization of our treatment! Second, we need to be aware that we operate in the context of a larger institution, one that, if not satisfied with the services, can quickly make our work lives very difficult. University and college counseling centers operate in a larger ecosystem of resources and agencies that, when they are working effectively, provide an amazing opportunity for the students who receive them. When that system is ineffective or negatively charged, students are often stuck in between campus agencies without getting what they need. Finally, I have found that those who are attracted to the work that we do in college counseling centers also place value on the emotional environment in which they do their work. While each university counseling center has its high points and low points in staff cohesion, our working relationships with each other are a draw to this field. Most of us aren’t doing this for the glory we receive, or for the big bucks we get in our paychecks. We’re here because we want a place where we can engage with people in many ways throughout our days. We can do therapy with clients, we can support parents, we can reach out and collaborate across our campus community, and we can create meaningful, caring relationships with other clinicians. Sounds like a pretty great job to me, thinking of it that way. I’m proud to be a part of an organization like the Section for College and University Counseling Centers that is working to put a cohesive professional identity on the face of this important work.

Further Defining College Mental Health as a Specialty Area: The National Research Consortium of Counseling Centers in Higher Education Chris Brownson, Ph.D. Counseling and Mental Health Center The University of Texas at Austin

Most who work in college mental health recognize the area as a subspecialty within counseling psychology because of the unique attributes of the college students that we serve as well as the unique context in which we serve them (see article by Chris Brownson Traci Callandrillo on page 1 in this issue of the newsletter). But very little research is aimed at the unique needs of college students with respect to their mental health or at college counseling centers in general. Additionally, there has been very little nationwide baseline data collected about the presenting problems and severity of mental health problems encountered by college students. In 1990, the Counseling & Mental Health Center (CMHC) at The University of Texas at Austin founded The National Research Consortium of Counseling Centers in Higher Education (RC) to increase the knowledge base for mental health services for the college population. Between 1990 and 2002, the RC conducted four studies on college student mental health concerns. Most Recent RC Study on College Student Suicidal Crises In 2005, the RC embarked on a new study to examine the nature of college student suicidal crises. This study was driven by many factors: there has been increased attention on college student suicide in recent years, growing expectations for colleges and universities to have suicide prevention programs, a need to examine institutional policies and procedures around disciplinary action and mandatory medical withdrawals in light of recent media attention, and grant opportunities for suicide prevention that require data collection and analysis (Garrett Lee Smith SAMHSA Grants). We knew that the RC could impact these factors. A review of the literature had revealed that while data ex-

isted on completed suicide rates, attempt rates, and rates of suicidal ideation, less was known about the course, duration, frequency, intensity, severity, and general nature of these suicidal crises for college students. Also unknown was who students confide in, why many students choose not to tell anyone, their help-seeking behavior, the impact on their academic performance, their perceptions of their emotional states and the antecedents to their suicidal crises, and their own opinions about what is and is not helpful to them. A survey was developed that would address these issues - and more - related to college student suicidal crises. Data was collected during Spring 2006 from a random sample of undergraduate and graduate students at 70 colleges and universities across the nation using on-line surveys, and over 26,000 students responded (24% response rate), creating the largest data set of its kind. Preliminary results were reported at the annual meeting of the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors in October 2006, and several other presentations are planned for Spring 2007, including NASPA, ACHA, and the University of Michigan’s 5th Annual Depression on College Campuses Conference, among others. The results of this study will be available first to Research Consortium participants and then nonparticipants for subsequent data analysis, as there are numerous possibilities for other lines of inquiry with this data (see our website for accessing this data later in 2007). Past RC Studies The recent suicide study builds upon the RC’s foundation of examining the mental health concerns of the college population. From 1990 through 2002, the RC conducted four studies around these issues. The first (1991) and third (1996-97) studies examined the presenting problems of clinical populations, and the second (199495) and fourth (2002) studies focused on the mental health issues of non-clinical student populations. (Continued on page 5)

Volume 2, Issue 2

Research Consortium (Continued from page 4)

The third study also yielded reports on the doseeffect relationship in brief therapy and the working alliance and treatment outcomes in ethnically similar and dissimilar treatment dyads. Results of the first four studies are published on the CMHC website at http://www.utexas.edu/student/cmhc/ research/rescon.html. The Importance of Participation The legitimacy of the specialty of college mental health depends on our participation in scholarly research, such as the RC or the Center for the Study of College Student Mental Health data collection project (see Ben Locke’s article on page 5).

Page 5 We realize that participating in research can be time-consuming and costly, so we subsidize these projects to keep the process relatively hassle-free and the cost minimal so that as many institutions as possible, large or small, will join us in our mission. Membership in the Research Consortium is studydependent; hence, the membership composition changes from study to study. To find out about future studies, you can send me your contact information and I will be sure to include you in our mailouts. Also, I correspond and recruit over the AUCCCD and the Division 17 SCUCC listservs. Feel free to contact me with any questions about the current study or the RC in general.

Building a Research Highway: The Center for the Study of College Student Mental Health Ben Locke, Ph.D. Center for Counseling and Psychological Services Penn State University

As the whirlwind of news reports and journal articles swirls around apparent increases in the prevalence and severity of college student mental health problems, our field is uncovering a substantial problem: we cannot accurately and routinely describe the state of our own affairs. Without a nationally unified Ben Locke system for tracking counseling center activity, the best we can do is piece together a collection of discreet results from many different sources which vary widely in their accuracy, methodology, and generalizability. The consequences of this problem are many. For example: counseling centers struggle to advocate for their financial and staffing needs due to a lack of readily available nationally-based comparable data; centers may struggle to respond to shifting clinical trends because these trends are only detected after years of development; key training information about college students cannot be communicated

because it is simply not known; and we cannot answer broad questions about “college student mental health” with confidence. With the exception of excellent research by individual centers, retrospective surveys, and largescale collaborative research projects such as the Research Consortium studies (see Chris Brownson’s article on page 4) – counseling centers essentially operate as data silos. While individual centers may do an excellent job of collecting data on their clients, that data cannot be compared to other center’s data because it is not standardized or synchronized. To address this problem, Counseling and Psychological Services at Penn State University is working to build the Center for the Study of College Student Mental Heath (CSCSMH) in close collaboration with a growing network of counseling centers (now over 100) and Titanium Software (scheduling and record keeping software used in 200+ centers). It is important to note that although we are creating a research “center” because successful national research networks need a stable centralized hub, we strongly believe that this effort belongs to the field of college and university counseling centers. (Continued on page 6)

Center for the Study of College Student Mental Health (Continued from page 5)

As such, our success will hinge on maintaining a collaborative approach and a mission that focuses on giving back to the field as a whole. We hosted an inaugural conference in April of 2006 and were happily surprised when more than 70 professionals from over 50 institutions attended. As a group, we began the process of defining a flexible standardized data set for counseling centers while also building a sense of community, collaboration, and ownership. CSCSMH was recently endorsed by Penn State’s President, Graham Spanier, and is being supported by several major mental health organizations (including the Association of University and College Counseling Center Directors and the Commission for Counseling and Psychological services of ACPA). Additionally, we have received a commitment of support and participation from Titanium Software. We are currently seeking the necessary funding to move the project to the next level. A CSCSMH advisory board was selected and met for the first time in November of 2006. The goal of CSCSMH is to create a national research infrastructure for counseling centers that is integrated right into the existing day-to-day operational procedures – as opposed to creating secondary data-entry burdens. Participating centers will simply go about their daily business – and the resulting data will be seamlessly pooled nationally each month. In turn, the gathered data will be translated into automated summary reports for the

public and drill-down comparative reports for participating centers. It is our hope that this information will help to inform mental health treatment, training, and research, guide administrative and institutional funding decisions, make accurate and up-to-date information available to the public, and oversee the creation and maintenance of an everexpanding centralized database. Once it is up and running – data will flow through a national infrastructure each month and produce regular reports on the current status and trends in college student mental health. The database would grow over time and become a goldmine for ongoing research and analysis on a wide variety of important issues. Other possibilities abound including: (a) maintaining constantly updated mental health norms to inform and improve clinical treatment and diagnosis, (b) creating funded research positions to analyze the growing database, (c) leveraging the reach and power of the infrastructure to quickly examine key research questions within a national clinical sample. Although technology can be magical at times, this project will take years to be fully realized – and will ask each participating center to be flexible, stay focused on the big picture, and to become excited by the prospect of moving the field to the next level. Details about CSCSMH (including participating centers and our advisory board) can be found online here: http://www.sa.psu.edu/caps/ research_center.shtml.

Counseling and Psychological Services University of Kansas

For most of us trained in counseling or clinical psychology, the business world seems like a foreign land, with its own language, customs, values and unspoken rules. Although unfamiliar, it is important for the interns we train (as well as senior staff) to gain exposure and comfort with the business environment. Facilitating change at the organizational John Wade level offers the potential to affect many more lives than is possible through individual or group psychotherapy. Consultation can also be financially and personally rewarding, and it is especially important in today’s increasingly competitive world to expand the range of professional opportunities for those we train. Consultation can be a vague and nebulous term (often used by those who typically make more money than we do). But a working definition of consultation is simply “the act of applying psychological Cathy Word principles and understanding to promote the accomplishment of organizational goals” (Sears, Rudisell, & Mason-Sears, 2006, p.3). Cosier and Dalton (1993) note that the specialized training and experience typical of psychologists can be easily and directly applied to the organizational context. Our years of training in psychology gives us many skill sets, but we are often given little guidance regarding how to utilize them outside of the traditionally defined clinical or academic settings. One of the goals of providing outreach/consultation training with an appreciation of the business/organizational perspective is to emphasize how psycho-educational activities can be applied to a broad range of populations and settings – in such areas as organizational issues, leadership, management, supervision, conflict resolution, and executive and life coaching. At Counseling and Psychological Services at the University of Kansas, we strive to provide outreach and consultation training from a perspective that can translate easily to set(Continued on page 8)

Training Interns in Consultation (Continued from page 7)

tings beyond the university or mental health arenas. We try to accomplish this through several means: •

One is to invite speakers from our business school to talk to the interns and provide a thumbnail sketch of consultation from the business perspective, namely, that to be hired as a consultant you must convince the company that you can help them make more money or save them money. One intern commented that being exposed to the business paradigm by unapologetic capitalists was the “truest multicultural experience I’ve had during my graduate training.” To be able to work effectively in another paradigm we must first understand it.

•

During the year of internship training we also typically invite speakers who can offer their personal experiences and knowledge with other aspects of consultation, such as working for a consultation firm, starting a consultation/training practice, and suggestions for effective networking within the community.

•

We also have had the good fortune of being able to bring in a counseling psychologist who works in business and hammers home the concept of “skill sets.” He helps the interns identify and label the “skill sets” they have developed and think creatively of I/O settings where our skills are in demand.

•

Since documenting results is of paramount importance in fee for service settings and is becoming increasingly more important in the counseling center setting, training in program evaluation is included as part of outreach/ consultation training.

•

Since our mission is to provide service to the university community, our campus is the setting for the vast majority of the interns’ outreach and consultation experiences. However, interns are expected to approach the experience as if they were providing a fee for service, including writing a cover letter, developing marketing materials, and creating a contract pro-

posal. Excellent examples of these are included in Consultation Skills For Mental Health Professionals by Sears, Rudisell, and MasonSears (2006). The feedback from the interns has consistently been positive. Many have expressed appreciation for increasing their awareness of other applications of their training, and for gaining a greater appreciation of the importance of marketing and networking in almost all applications of psychology. A rewarding, but not surprising by-product is that several interns have commented that this approach has increased their sense of professional selfefficacy. References Cosier, R. & Dalton, D. (1993).
