The Counseling Center is currently trying to raise funds to get a Mental Health Wellness Lab that will be open for all students to drop in and:
Western’s Mental Health Wellness Lab will include these self-guided Relaxation Stations:
By creating a welcoming, drop-in Mental Health Wellness Lab, Western’s Counseling Center will both expand and normalize student use of its services. The outreach message will communicate to students: You can get help (and fulfilment) from the Mental Health Wellness Lab whether or not you are experiencing psychological, behavioral, or learning difficulties.
Establishing a Mental Health Wellness Lab is one of a variety of strategies being used to normalize and expand the use of Western’s Counseling Center. Current use of Western’s Counseling Center by students for individual and group counseling services is 11 percent. While this is 3 percent above the national average of 8 percent, the goal is to normalize use of the Counseling Center as a safe place where all students feel comfortable pursuing mental health well being. Students who feel comfortable in the Counseling Center will be more likely to access counseling or emergency support when experiencing psychological, behavioral, or learning difficulties.
