Jill Barber, Ph.D. Counseling Center Georgia Institute of Technology

The Section for College and University Counseling Centers is excited to offer what promises

to be engaging programming this year in Toronto. Our section symposium will be in keeping with Dr. Helms presidential initiative and will feature Drs. Rosie Phillips Bingham and Jane Clement presenting on “Taking Action Against Racism on Campuses: The Role of the University Counseling Center”. Strategies for successfully responding to racist incidents on campuses will be discussed as well as our roles as therapists, advocates, and administrators and how those can be used both to respond to and to prevent racism. Following the symposium, the annual section

awards luncheon and roundtable discussion of the ideas shared in the symposium will be held. This time will offer members an opportunity for mentoring, networking, engaging in recognition of one another’s accomplishments, and a forum for engaging dialogue about the ideas shared in the symposium. It is a time not to be missed. Additionally, in Toronto, SCUCC will co-sponsor along with other sections and divisions, At Last: A Wedding for Us All. (Continued Page 2)

Traci Callandrillo, Ph.D. Counseling Center American University

Greetings to all of you! I hope that the academic year is winding down smoothly on your campus. While the Section had a small break in our newsletter, our membership has been quite active, and we are again gearing up for some terrific activities at APA in Toronto.

SCP, and SCUCC at the second organizational meeting for a newly established alliance, of which we are proud new members. The Higher Education Mental Health Alliance (HEMHA) is a partnership of organizations providing leadership in college mental health.

In September, I had the honor of representing APA,

Join us in Toronto at the Division 17 Hospitality Suite!

This event has several goals: to offer conference attendees who live in states where they may not have access to legal marriage, an opportunity to do so and to offer an opportunity for colleagues to gather and celebrate in support of marriage equality for all. Proceeds from this event will be used to produce an educational video that can be used for psychologists and educators who would like to work for justice in the area of marriage equality. Visit www.div17.org/slgbti/ wedding/htm for details or to RSVP. On March 24, 2009 The Mental Health on Campus Improvement Act was introduced by Senators Dick Durbin, Susan Collins, and Jan Schakowsky. This act

creates a competitive grant program to provide funding that both focuses on outreach to identify students with mental health needs as well as to provide treatment for those who are coming to university counseling centers for help. Past-chair, Dr. Traci Callandrillo has served SCUCC and APA as our liaison to the Higher Education Mental Health Alliance which has partnered in working towards the passage of this act. This act comes at an especially critical time for college mental health as many universities face budget challenges and external funding may ensure that students continue to receive the mental health care that they need.

This is a challenging time to practice in university mental health, given the rising service demand and the budget challenges that many universities face. It is a time when the creativity and support that come from connection with colleagues can sustain us. We would welcome new members to the section as well as the renewed camaraderie of busy colleagues. This is a great time to join in the energy of a dynamic and growing section within the Society of Counseling Psychology.

At Last: A Wedding for Us All Division 17’s Section for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Issues (LGBTI), Division 44, other Divisions, Sections, and individual sponsors would like to invite all APA attendees and guests to attend a celebratory ceremony and gathering: "At Last: A Wedding For Us All." “At Last” will host a legal wedding for those who are unable to marry in their home states. “At Last” invites everyone who supports marriage equality to join in the celebra-

tion. We welcome all APA attendees to come out and enjoy fabulous northern Italian dining, dancing, and a fun evening with colleagues and friends. The ceremony will be held on Thursday, August 6, 2009 at 8:00 pm at Voglie Risto in Church Wellesley Village Dr. Ruth Fassinger will officiate the ceremony. Immediately after the ceremony a 4 course dinner will be served and a reception/party follows through the night with a cash bar. Tickets for the event will cost $ 50.00 per person. A

limited number of scholarships will be available for students on a first come, first served basis. All proceeds beyond the essential costs for "At Last: A Wedding for Us All" will be used to develop public education materials including a video which address the psychological costs of discrimination in regards to unequal access to marriage. To RSVP, become a sponsor, or to sign up to be married, visit us at: http:// www.div17.org/slgbti/

From the SCUCC Past-Chair Representatives from the highest levels of leadership have joined from a variety of organizations, including the American Psychiatric Association, the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA), the American College Counseling Association (ACCA), the Jed Foundation, and the American College Health Association (ACHA). APA officially endorsed its membership by providing a liaison representative, as has SCP (and our section) by appointing an official

liaison as well. I am honored to serve in this role, and will keep our membership updated on the accomplishments and activities in HEMHA. HEMHA’s first official act was to collectively endorse Senator Durbin’s “Mental Health on Campus Improvement Act.” HEMHA will next meet in San Francisco this May, as ACHA has graciously agreed to sponsor our meeting in conjunction with their annual convention. While the agenda for this meeting is still in formation, and will very likely focus on further

clarification of the group’s organizational structure and initial priorities, should you have suggestions for me to take to this group, please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. For more information, and to stay connected to the activities more directly, you can visit HEMHA’s new web site at www.hemha.org.

I look forward to seeing many of you in Toronto!

Taking Action Against Racism in Higher Education (TAARHE) Co-chairs: Amy L. Reynolds, Roger Worthington, and Lisa Spanierman

“At least one hate crime occurs daily on a college campus”

According to Tolerance.org, over 500,000 college students are targets of biased slurs and physical assaults every year. At least one hate crime occurs daily on a college campus and of those incidents, race and ethnicity are the most common targets. On some campuses college students observe biased words or images every day. The cumulative effect of these daily occurrences of racism or racial microaggressions has been shown to affect self-esteem, identity, and academic success (Sue, et al., 2007). We know that these incidents are under-reported because the FBI gathers information from relatively few reporting campuses. Targets of hate crimes are at heightened risk for psychological distress beyond that of the consequences of violent crime in general (Herek, Gillis, & Cogan, 1999; Sulloway, 2004). Psychological sequelae of hate crimes can include depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder (Bisson & Shepherd, 1995; Weaver & Club, 1995). As part of her presidential initiative Dr. Janet Helms formed a special task group (STG) within Division 17 of the American Psychological Association on racial bias, harassment, and hate crimes in higher education, the Tak-

ing Action Against Racism in Higher Education (TAARHE). This STG grew out of a work group at the 2007 International Counseling Psychology Conference in Chicago. Our goal is gathering information on best practices in responding to racism and hate crimes on campus and building connections among psychologists in higher education, whether they are in academic departments or college counseling centers, who are uniquely skilled and situated to address these issues and take a leadership role on their campuses. Our vision for TAARHE is to be one of many voices within the psychology profession who are active and visible social justice advocates utilizing our unique training, skills, and perspectives to make higher education a more just and inclusive educational environment. Our vision encompasses three areas: 1) to provide access to information and networking among psychologists working in higher education who strive to combat racism, hate crimes, and hate incidents on college campuses; 2) to promote the role of prevention and social advocacy among psychologists working in higher education; and 3) to build interdisciplinary and collaborative efforts among

professionals committed to social justice on college campuses. In our work, we have been involved in two primary tasks. During the past six months, there have been local and national reports about bias incidents occurring on campuses that directly relate to the election of Barack Obama as the first African American President of the United States. We are interested in understanding the impact his election has had on bias incidents on campuses and we are surveying campus diversity officers to gather information about any related incidents or experiences on their campus. To that end we have developed and administered a web-based survey to investigate the prevalence and type of bias incidents that have occurred during election season and beyond. This effort will allow us to gather important information and network with campus diversity professionals who address diversity issues daily as part of their job. (Continued on Page 6)

The Case for Case Managers Joseph A. Lippincott, PhD. Counseling Center Kutztown University As the numbers of university and community college students continue to increase, so does the complexity of past and present psychopathological issues presented at college counseling centers. Statistics from several large universities have suggested that 20% or more of students seen at campus counseling centers have had significant mental health histories and/or have previously been prescribed psychotropic medications (Farrell, 2008). Premorbid symptomatology and medication histories are but a few of the issues facing counselors today. Severe eating disorders, decompensation and psychosis, flagrant bipolar episodes, suicidal crises, and protracted substance abuse and addiction are all assessed and treated or referred. With students presenting such complex and profound issues, the provision of counseling sessions alone, particularly short-term sessions, may well prove inadequate to provide symptom relief or cessation. Treatment of students is further complicated by the challenge of including, as part of the team, other agents and agencies, such as inpatient providers, psychotropic prescription provision and monitoring, detoxification and rehabilitation, managed care and health insurance providers, and other off-campus professionals. Rockland-Miller and Eells (2008), both directors of counseling centers

on large campuses, use the term “deskilled” to describe the feelings of many college counselors when facing the complex, and often daunting, situation of interacting with and attempting to coordinate among multiple professional health care providers during a student’s psychiatric crisis and hospitalization. The authors suggest that the treating clinician, in concert with the Director or Clinical Director, should institute and coordinate emergency care provisions, as well as “follow up care with hospital social workers and psychiatrists” (p. 11). While I am in general agreement with these suggestions, I believe that an additional counseling center team member can be a tremendous asset in the provision and coordination of care for these students. Case managers have traditionally been associated with the field of social work. In college counseling centers, not unlike other mental health milieus, case managers can help to bridge very important gaps among professional service providers and other significantly involved individuals. A case manager does more than coordinate “services” – he or she interacts with the people who are important to the treatment, care and welfare of the student client. A case manager in a college counseling setting can become the point person for contacts both oncampus (e.g., the health center, residence hall, dean’s office, disability coordinator, and faculty) and offcampus (e.g., in- and out-patient facilities, family/significant others, and health insurance providers). Case management is particularly needed in the coordination of posthospitalization (aftercare) treatment and in the provision and fol-

low up to referrals for treatment outside of the college counseling center. This is germane because of the counselor’s ethical responsibilities to maintain continuity of care when transferring clients to other clinicians and treatment modalities. Case managers do not need to be specific to a particular domain or degree. Psychologists, master’s level counselors, psychiatric clinical nurse specialists, and social workers may all be well suited for this role. In addition to formal coordination of care and services, professional duties could include psychoeducation and outreach programming, crisis intervention, counseling, intakes, and campus and community liaison relationships. One university has implemented a Community Consultation and Intervention Program designed particularly to identify and support students who are experiencing severe distress but are unlikely to access counseling services (Mier, Boone, & Shropshire, 2009). Case management is an integral component of this Program. In the aftermath of the 2007 Virginia Tech tragedy, recommendations were made and enacted, creating three additional counseling positions and three case managers (Fischer, 2008).

TAARHE continued… Our second task will be to develop a TAARHE website that can be used as a primary means to share vital information and resources about incidents of bias on college campuses and best practices that psychologists and other higher education professionals currently are utilizing. Our hope is that the website will become an important resource among Don’t Miss SCUCC Events at APA 2009: Symposium & Luncheon A Wedding for Us All

psychologists and other campus professionals committed to fighting racism. Soon, we will be seeking the assistance of psychologists and others on campuses all around the country to develop and contribute content for the website. We continue to grow and evolve as a Special Task

Group and are open for additional TAARHE members who are especially interested in participating in the creation of this important website. We look forward to working with many of you and hope that you are willing to provide us with important feedback and information so that we might succeed at these important goals.

Case Managers continued... Use of case managers does not suggest that primary counselors should become less involved in the overall treatment of their clients. Liaison with the case manager can allow the counselor to engage more directly in direct treatment–that is, in the therapeutic relationship with his or her client. College counselors, of course, do provide varying levels of case management as part of their work with clients, but this role is often undervalued. Jenks Kettman et al. (2007), in their article on the increase in psychopathological severity among college counseling clients, suggest that counselors should “receive credit for case management instead of focusing on the numbers of clients they see each week” (p. 528). The case for case managers at college counseling centers is, I believe, a compelling

one. The Accreditation Standards for Counseling Centers (IACS, 2009) mandate that counseling center staff work closely with mental health service providers in their community to coordinate adequate and effective care for student clients. This mandate, along with the severity and complexity of psychological issues among many college counseling center clients, suggests that the time has come for considering and implementing case managers into college counseling centers.
