Mission
The Counseling Center at Curry College is designed to support students' personal growth, development, and academic success. Our services provide students with an opportunity to understand emotional wellness and to develop skills they can utilize to make healthy choices. In addition, our services offer students a place to learn about ways to manage stressors that affect them personally, as well as their academic progress and goals. We also provide prevention based education that promotes mental health to the College community.
Cultural Humility and EDIJ Statement
The staff at Curry College Counseling Center strive to incorporate cultural humility and anti-racist clinical practices with every interaction we have with students, and the wider Curry College community. We make every effort to create an inclusive and validating environment for students at Curry College to receive affirming services and support. Collectively as a staff, we are committed to increasing our understanding and knowledge of best practices to support marginalized and underrepresented communities. Our team acknowledges the impact on mental health due to the subsequent effects of the following experiences including, but not limited to racial trauma, transphobia or homophobia, discrimination and harassment, institutionalized racism, oppression, unequal incarceration, disproportionate violence perpetuated by law enforcement, and historical inequity. As Curry College community members, we are open to receiving feedback about how to offer, with cultural humility, the most affirming and inclusive services possible.

Outreach
The Counseling Center provides outreach to the campus community as experts in the field of college mental health by providing the campus with resources, guidance and consultation.
We provide guidance and consultation to the campus community on Suicide Prevention, Alcohol and Other Drugs, and College Mental Health and Wellbeing. Each of these content areas is intersectional and constructed through a lens of social justice, neurodiversity, and inclusion.
Requesting Outreach
Requests for outreach must be submitted via email to counselingcenter@curry.edu with a minimum of three weeks advance notice for planned events. Please include the preferred date and time, topic and goals for outreach and any other information which would be of assistance. For other events occurring in response to world/community/campus events/incidents, please submit the request at your earliest convenience. During periods of high demand or lack of expertise on a particular subject, we regret that we will not be able to meet all requests. In those situations, every effort will be made to provide information and referral to external resources. Please complete with as much detail as possible to ensure a timely response. Incomplete requests will be returned for completion before review.
