Outreach
- Outreach is defined by our center as education and prevention in motion. Outreach is one way our center can address the growing needs of the University and surrounding community. Outreach programming provides preventative interventions in many areas concerning mental health and wellness.
- The number one reason people do not seek help related to mental health is stigma. Learn more about how you can support efforts to make the U of M Campus Stigma free here>
- The University of Memphis Student Health and Counseling Services is a member institution of the Association for University and College Counseling Center Outreach AUCCCO.
