In support of these goals, the Counseling Center became a JED campus, placed Embedded Counselors in every academic college on campus, and offered virtual mental health services through Mantra Health. These services are in addition to the variety of groups, workshops, case management, psychiatry, and individual counseling services offered through the Counseling Center.
