MO State Counseling Center

🧠Some of our staff attended the Meeting of the Minds conference this past weekend in St. Louis! Colleagues from Student Wellness and Res Life joined us as well!! Meeting of the Minds is an annual health, safety, and well-being conference designed to help campus professionals address the critical health behaviors of college & university students!

A few of our clinicians (Chiara and Shai) and the director of the Counseling Center (Dr. Allicia Baum) presented at the conference and did a stellar job! 🧠

🩵Hey Bears!!!

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month! The Counseling Center is partnering with Student Wellness and SGA to host different events for this month!

Join us today from 11a-12:30p in the PSU for an info table on Sexual Assault Awareness Month Day of Action!

On April 13th, join us for Consent is FRIES! This will be an informative session on consent and its role in healthy relationships. We’ll be breaking down F.R.I.E.S., an acronym that stands for Freely Given, Reversible, Informed, Enthusiastic, and Specific, to help create a better understanding what true consent looks like.
Event Highlights: F.R.I.E.S. consent education and discussion, enjoy a FRY Bar with delicious snacks, grab a Denim Day Button to show your support, there will be educational handouts to take home, and fun photo props for a memorable experience! Come learn, engage, and celebrate the importance of respectful relationships.

On April 29th, join us for Denim Day! Stop by the informational table in the PSU to learn more about Denim Day, the longest running sexual violence prevention and education campaign in history. Join students and community members across the globe by wearing jeans on April 29th to bring awareness to misconceptions surrounding sexual violence!

On the evening of April 29th, join us for Take Back the Night! This is an event to bring awareness to interpersonal violence and provide an opportunity for survivors and others to share their experiences in a powerful space. The event is designed to support survivors wherever they may be in their healing journey and provide our campus community with an opportunity to show solidarity and allyship.

We can’t wait to see you all for these events!!🩵
