Counseling Services
The overall goal of counseling at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine is to assist students experiencing academic, personal, and other difficulties to achieve their aspiration of becoming successful veterinarians. Counseling staff provide confidential services to help students build a more satisfying and successful experience while at RUSVM. Services include individual and group counseling for personal, relationship, or academic concerns.
For information or to schedule an appointment, please contact Dr. Janet Camp, Clinical Psychologist, by e-mailing jcamp@rossvet.edu.kn or calling 465-4161 x1500.
Location: Room 12-17 (Administrative Corridor--Same as Nurse’s office).
Hours of Operation: Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:00p.m. Counseling is not available during semester breaks.
PSYCHO-EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING
Counseling staff is available to provide psycho-educational programming and consultation services on a broad range of topics for students, faculty, staff and the university community. Workshops on various topics related to emotional health (e.g. stress management, time management, test taking tips, etc.) can be planned with a minimum of two weeks advance notice. However, faculty, staff and student organizations are encouraged to make requests as early in the semester as possible so that appropriate preparations are made. The most successful programming usually involves addressing groups such as classes, faculty, staff departments, residence life units, and student groups.
CONSULTATION
Faculty, staff, or students may from time-to-time become concerned about another member of the RUSVM community. Counseling staff is available to consult with and to provide assistance to those who encounter individuals who might benefit from counseling. Early identification and appropriate intervention is the goal for better assisting the RUSVM campus community.
