What Services are Offered?

Consultation:
If a student is experiencing stress or is struggling with a mental health diagnosis, Cindy Linn, PC will be available to see them during “drop-in” hours, which will be held Wednesday from 9:00 am- 1:00 pm and Thursday from 1:00 pm -5:00 pm. During these times, students (or faculty/staff who are concerned about a student or who have a mental health-related question) may visit the Counseling Office to talk about the stressors they have been experiencing or other mental health-related concerns. Students may also schedule an appointment by calling the counseling office at 588-1517. Based on the needs of the student, the counselor may recommend options for helping that student, including the possibility of referring him or her into the community to appropriate psychological or psychiatric resources.

An important clarification, however, about the counselor’s role at OUZ is to emphasize that she will not be able to respond to crises or emergencies when she is not on campus. That is, if a student needs immediate mental health intervention, such as in the case of thoughts or plans regarding harming oneself or someone else, he or she may speak with the counselor only when she is available on campus. She may not be reachable for crisis, emergency, or individual counseling outside of her regularly scheduled day on campus.

During days and times that Cindy LInn is not on campus, students and faculty/staff concerned about an immediate need may contact: Liesta Walker at 740-453-1559 on campus, or they may call Muskingum Counseling Center at 740-453-9766 (business hours) or the CRISIS LINE (available 24/7) at 740-453-5818 or 1-800-344-5818.

Psychoeducational & Outreach Programming
In addition to individual sessions and referral options, Cindy Linn, PC will also be available to engage in outreach or educational programs for staff, faculty, and students regarding a wide variety of mental health issues, stressors, and topics that pertain to a university campus community. Such topics include, but are not limited to, stress management, conflict resolution, recognizing the presence of mental health issues, substance abuse, and eating disorders.
