At Clark University Center for Counseling and Personal Growth (CPG), we strive to connect, educate, and intervene with the larger Clark University community and ultimately strengthen our \u201ccommunity of caring\u201d. Providing education and prevention to university students, faculty and staff, through the forms of workshops, presentations, trainings, participation in campus-community events, and dialogues, gives the Clark community the opportunity to learn about mental health issues and it can have a positive impact on students who may not otherwise pursue formal counseling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through prevention and outreach, CPG is able to reach numerous students, from those who are interested in learning more about college student mental health and may benefit from gaining information about the variety of services CPG has to offer, to those who may want to know more about how to help a friend, to reaching out to those students who may experience too much stigma to actually feel comfortable seeking therapy. CPG creates a web of support not only for students, but also encourages staff and faculty involvement through a variety of education and prevention efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
