• VU Employee Assistance Program (all full-time employees are eligible to utilize this).

The Counselor is here to support VUJ faculty and staff through difficult situations involving students. However, please be aware that a consultation does not constitute therapy, and as such, does not carry a guarantee of confidentiality. If it is the Counselor's opinion that other individuals need to become involved, or simply be made aware of, the situation, the Counselor will take steps to ensure that all relevant information is shared with such individuals.
