Counseling College Students on Issues Relating to Development, Spirituality and Religion Webinar description:Traditional aged college students (18-23) often come to campus in an exploratory phase of their development and non-traditional aged students may also question prior belief systems. These explorations may challenge students’ spiritual and religious beliefs as well as lead them to reevaluate their worldview as it pertains to their belief systems and values. College students may face crises away from their family of origin, such as questioning sexual identity, career decision making, or more serious incidents such as hazing and death of loved ones. In this webinar, the presenters discuss the ACCA and ASERVIC competencies that can help guide counselors in their practice as it pertains to these issues and offer case-studies, and theories to illustrate these complex issues.

Return to Top Register for the webinar on Issues Relating to Development, Spirituality and Religion College Students and Internet-based CounselingWebinar Description: Numerous studies have reported an increase in the number college students at risk for mental health problems, yet the rate of college students seeking help from mental health professions is decreasing, and as college students’ level of distress increases, their likelihood of seeking help decreases. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students, but less than 20% of students who commit suicide received campus-based services. Limited studies have been conducted on college students’ attitudes toward online mental health counseling, and the results of those are conflicting. There is an urgent need to identify the types of mental health counseling services college students will use. Without addressing their mental health needs, colleges and universities may actually hinder their learning and potential success, contribute to an increase in attrition rates, and jeopardize the health and safety of other students and staff across college campuses nationwide. Research suggests undergraduate college students are interested in learning more about Internet-based mental health interventions, such as cell phone apps and email. An overview of research conducted about undergraduate college students’ attitudes about using Internet-based mental health interventions will be presented. Learning Objectives:
