LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR The Counseling and Wellness Center (CWC) is part of the Division of Student Affairs at the University of Florida (UF). Our mission is to foster human development in all of its diversity through compassion, advocacy, empowerment and hope.

As the primary provider of mental health services to UF students, we provide counseling, educational, preventive and crisis intervention services. We also support the larger UF community, including parents, faculty, staff, and administrators, through consultation on matters related to UF students’ mental health and well-being.

Our students seek CWC services to address a wide range of concerns and needs, including but not limited to finding their place on campus, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, mental health emergencies, academic performance, chronic and severe mental health concerns at times requiring the intervention of multiple specialists; or education on a wide range of mental health topics aimed at preventing mental health concerns.

Some of our clinical staff are members of the University’s Crisis Response Team, which dispatches teams to assist members of the university community who may be dealing with a tragedy or the loss of life. Most of us, clinicians, are affiliate faculty members in either the Department of Psychology or the Department of Counselor Education; a few have also affiliate faculty status in the Center for Latin American Studies.

All of us, from our clinical faculty to those who serve in communications, administrative, fiscal, and support staff teams, are committed to serving our students compassionately, competently, and with care.

On behalf of our entire team at the CWC,

Ernesto Escoto CWC Director

As part of our comprehensive efforts to meet the needs of all UF students, we offer group, couples, and individual counseling, outreach programs and workshops, mental health-related digital services, consultation, and are engaged in various other educational activities. CWC is home to a doctoral internship program accredited by the American Psychological Association.

Our mission is to foster human development in all of its diversity through compassion, empowerment, advocacy, hope, and heart. As the primary provider of counseling and mental health services for students at the University of Florida we embrace differences and nurture a healthy and healing campus environment for all.

Counseling Services & Clinical Data GROUPS & WORKSHOPS The CWC continues to be one of the leading providers of group therapy in collegiate mental health. The CWC provided 101 groups this academic year. Some groups were focused on psychoeducational skills, such as mindfulness meditation, whereas others were focused on discussion and processing.

The CWC offered groups for a variety of student populations, such as: International Students, Graduate students, Black women, First generation, LGBTQ and Transgender students, Mandarin and Spanish speakers, and more. The CWC also provided groups for Sexual Assault Survivors, Eating Disorder recovery, Yoga, Substance Use, Medical Challenges, and more.

Research indicates that group therapy and individual therapy have equivalent outcomes, and for many presenting concerns, group therapy is the treatment of choice. Group therapy also allows the Student Feedback About Group Therapy (from 290 responses)

During the academic year, the CWC logged over 3,773 more client hours than if each group leader had seen 2 individual clients instead over the same time period!

•• “That I can be amazing the way I am.”

•• “Group is a safe space and you should not be afraid to say how you truly feel” •• “Sharing my experiences with others and listening to others’ opinions and stories allowed me to reflect more deeply on my own thoughts, feelings, and actions.”

Outreach & Consultation Mental health care isn’t just counseling, in fact a large part of creating and sustaining a healthy campus is by making sure our efforts are reaching out to the campus community. This means giving presentations about our services and relevant topics, teaching wellness workshops, participating at tabling events, organizing mental health awareness events across campus, and more! In this section, we’ll highlight our outreach efforts for the 2018-19 academic year.

Crisis & Emergency Response The CWC’s Crisis and Emergency Resource Center (CERC) is an emergency consultation service providing faculty and staff walk-in emergency service for students and crisis and behavioral-health training for student affairs, academic and public safety personnel. Additionally, CERC administers and implements the emergency counseling and behavioral-health components of the UF Disaster Plan and maintains the Florida State University System’s Counseling Center Mutual Aid Agreement. This agreement articulates a system for providing immediate and/or short-term assistance among Florida’s 13 student counseling centers in the event of a man-made tragedy or natural disaster that overwhelms their resources.

PAPERWORK ALERTS This year 5,800 UF students completed a six-part online intake form prior to their first scheduled CWC appointment. Once completed, CWC support staff meticulously review every intake form. When a student’s information suggests urgent or emergent issues, including self-injury, harm to self or others, or recent sexual assault, trauma, or death, support staff flag the paperwork for clinical review. A counselor then determines the best courses of action, which might include asking the student to come in immediately or providing additional supportive resources prior to the scheduled appointment.

1,005 In 2018-19

intake forms were flagged as paperwork alerts.

ON-CALL INTERVENTIONS On-Call Interventions are for clients with an immediate crisis or whose paperwork triggers a “flagof-concern”. CERC manages a rotating staff of on-call counselors for various types of interventions, ranging from in-person consultations to phone calls and emails.

NON-CLIENT EMERGENCY CONSULTATIONS - 107 Non-Client Consults are either in person or over the phone and cover interventions with students, faculty, and staff, where typically the student of concern has not received CWC services at the time of the consultation.

CLIENT EMERGENCY CONSULTATIONS - 691 Client Consults are either in person or over the phone, where typically the student of concern has received CWC services.

11

EMERGENCY TRIAGES - 127 Emergency triages are in person consultations to assess the nature and type of service needed and when conducted on an emergency basis are typically done to connect an individual with immediate on going care.

AFTER-HOURS CONSULTATIONS - 518 If a client calls the CWC during times when the center is closed their call is forwarded to ProtoCall, an after- hours mental health consultation service, staffed by licensed mental health providers. Calls are reviewed by CWC counselors the next work day and categorized for aftercare/follow up.

KOGNITO Kognito is a free online training that teaches students, faculty, staff, and family members how recognize signs and symptoms of emotional distress in peers and loved ones. The CWC has been offering Kognito to the UF community since 2012. This training guides users through virtual conversation and models effective behavior and referral techniques when talking with someone who may be emotionally distressed.

As of Fall 2018, a new mandate from the Florida Board of Governors has made Kognito the premier mental health training for all Florida public university staff, recognizing the importance of this type of training in supporting a healthy educational environment across Florida.

In addition to this mandate we expect Kognito utilization to increase during the next academic year due to our efforts in collaborating with mandatory training among all UF Housing staff and RAs in early October in concert with a broader marketing effort among select colleges and departments. Our current efforts will focus on intergrating the Kognito training into classes and organizations to help build a culture of care among staff and students alike.

634 In 2018-19

Kognito trainings were completed.

SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING (QPR) QPR, or Question, Persuade, Refer, is a suicide prevention training offered by the Crisis, Emergency & Resource Center. Each training is 1 1â „2 hours, and addresses myths regarding suicide, warning signs, how to inquire about suicide and refer to resources. In the 2018-19 academic year, CERC gave 19 QPR trainings to 698 campus stakeholders.

Training Program The CWC’s training program is an integral part of our mission at UF. We strive to develop counselors and psychologists who are competent, highly ethical, and culturally sensitive. Our program utilizes competency and standards based training and requires participants to observe principles of cultural competence and inclusivity. Most of our trainees are UF students completing clinical requirements for their degree.

DOCTORAL PSYCHOLOGY INTERNSHIP PROGRAM Our psychology internship program is designed to facilitate the transition from student to professional through training seminars, supervision and clinical experiences. For the 2018-2019 academic year our program received 89 applications from across the US and Canada for 5 positions. Virtually all interns complete their internship with job placement across the country, in both academic and practice settings. This year our interns secured jobs at the University of South Florida, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, University of Minnesota, and Wesleyan University.

Our psychology internship program is one of the oldest in the country, accredited by the American Psychological Association in 1982.

2018-19 Psychology Interns: Kenneth Washington, Shantel Powell, Reuben Faloughi, Rich Douglass, Kelsea Visalli

PRACTICUM & ADVANCED PRACTICUM We also have thriving doctoral practicum/ advanced practicum and master’s specialist internship programs that serve UF’s academic needs by providing Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology students a highquality training environment to complete their experiential requirements.

This year we had several part-time student positions, which included: 6 Practicum, 5 Generalist Advanced Practicum, 8 Testing Advanced Practicum, 4 Outreach Advanced Practicum, 4 Group Advanced Practicum students.

COUNSELOR EDUCATION MASTERS TRAINING This Summer 2019 the CWC continued its close collaboration with the College of Education’s Counselor Education Program. In addition to offering a training experience to doctoral students, the CWC developed a program specifically for master’s stu­dents. This two semester master’s training begins during the Summer and concludes at the end of Fall semester. During the program, trainees gain hands on supervised experience by providing much needed mental health services to the UF community. The CWC training program is proud to support student trainees in their clinical requirements towards successful completion of their graduate work.

CONTINUING EDUCATION & TEACHING ON CAMPUS The CWC sponsored 5 CE workshops for on-going staff professional development: Working with Supervisees Who do not Meet Professional Competence Requirements, Single Session Therapy, Ethical Considerations: Stepped-Care in College Counseling Centers, Eating Disorders, and Challenge Islamophobia: Effectively Engage with the Spiritual and Religious Identities of Students Who Identify as Muslim, in your Clinical Practice.

The CWC’s counselors also teach classes at UF, helping support our students and the academic mission of the university. Some of the courses taught included Ethics and Skills, Supervision and Consultation.

2ND ANNUAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM OUTREACH IN JAMAICA In one of many efforts to create a more inclusive and culturally competent campus community, the CWC internship program, along with two advising faculty (Analesa Clarke and Natasha Maynard-Pemba) initiated collaborations with professionals in Jamaica to increase knowledge and awareness about cultural factors that impact mental health and mental health treatment seeking behaviors in these populations.

From May 21st, 2019 presentation, “Challenge Islamophobia”, presented at IFAS Straughn Professional Development Center by Aliya Ismail, M.Ed, LMHC

For the second year, interns (Shantel Powell, Kelsea Visalli, Kenneth Washington) traveled to Intern, Shantel Powell (L), and CWC counselor, Analesa Clarke (R), giving a presentation Jamaica where they facilitated an exchange of about mental health to the community at Caselton Gardens, Jamaica culturally sensitive mental health training and outreach programming with these partners. The CWC internship program and advising faculty hope to continue these collaborations and disseminate relevant information and skills to the broader CWC staff, trainees and other UF staff involved in direct student service. Increasing staff’s cultural sensitivity and competence has an impact on interactions with students (i.e. improved communication, understanding and perceptions of support) and retention of diverse students and thus, this is another way that the CWC hopes to contribute to creating a more inclusive environment in the Gator community.

Staff Highlights COUNSELOR-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM The CWC’s Counselor-in-Residence program began in 2017 as a collaboration between UF Housing and Residence Education and the CWC. This program was developed to improve accessibility and opportunity for UF students living in residence halls and Graduate and Family Housing to receive counseling services and mental health support.

This year the program was expanded to provide support for UF’s PharmD students, both on campus and in the PharmD program’s satellite campuses in Jacksonville and Orlando. Our PharmD embedded counselor, Dr. Philip Daniels, has an office in the Health Profession, Nursing, and Pharmacy Complex and splits his client case load 50/50 between PharmD students and the general student population. Additionally, this position provides support to satellite campuses through a combination of telemental health and on-site visits once a month.
