Baruch Emergency List
At Baruch College, we have resources that deal with emergencies. I will be talking about each emergency department at Baruch College.
Crisis Counseling (Campus Intervention Team)
“Crisis counseling is available as a “walk-in” service for students who feel they are at imminent risk for suicide, violence or who may have experienced a traumatic event.”
“The Baruch College Campus Intervention Team (CIT) works together as a support system to provide assistance to students in crisis. Any member of the college community (faculty, students, staff) can reach out to the CIT to report a concern about a student.”
Short-term Individual Counseling
“Individual counseling consists of weekly one-on-one counseling sessions that focus on personal issues and concerns. Their counselors offer culturally responsive and trauma-informed therapy to help you to identify areas of growth, establish personal goals, and develop coping strategies in order to improve your mental health, well-being and provide you with the tools for making better decisions.”
Group Counseling
“Group counseling occurs in a safe, supportive, and confidential group setting of peers designed to help students better connect with themselves and others. Group counseling has been found to be just as effective as individual counseling in improving mental health. Working in a group setting promotes information sharing, provides positive feedback from peers, fosters hope in healing, and boosts self-esteem and confidence.”
Black Mental Health Matters Support Sessions
“Weekly sessions aimed to foster and support the growth, networking, collaboration, success and well-being of Black Students”.
Psychiatric Consultations
“Psychiatric medication evaluation and treatment services are available for students currently engaged in individual counseling services at the Counseling Center. It is designed for students who may benefit from medication or a psychiatric evaluation in addition to counseling.”
Psychological Testing and Evaluation
”The Counseling Center offers psychological evaluations to help determine counseling goals and accommodations for issues ranging from learning disabilities to test anxiety.”
Performance Enhancement Consultations
”Performance enhancement consultations are one-on-one consultations designed to reduce anxiety associated with sports, public speaking, test taking, and more.”
