Counseling and Human Relations Center

The counselors and support staff of the Counseling and Human Relations Center wish to offer you our warmest welcome.  We know that at times life can be difficult, if not overwhelming.  It’s during those hard times that you may be in need of support.  That’s why we’re on campus … to listen, understand and offer support to you as you work towards confronting and resolving your problems.  We believe that none of your problems are “too small.”  If they’re important to you, they’re important to us.

Our services are offered free of charge to all Plymouth State University undergraduate and graduate students.

The Counseling Center is located by Hyde Hall (on the side away from the Hyde Hall parking lot).  The building looks like a house and has a sign in the front lawn which says “Counseling and Human Relations Center.”

Counseling Center hours for Fall, Winterim, and Spring semesters are Mondays through Fridays from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. with additional appointment hours on Tuesdays until 7 p.m. 

The Counseling Center is also open two days per week during July:  Tuesdays from 9:30 a.m. until 7 p.m. and Wednesdays from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.

War Veterans Group

The Counseling and Human Relations Center will be offering a War Veterans Group to provide PSU students (and possibly some non-students) who are U.S. military veterans of war an opportunity to address issues of coping, stress management, and the aftereffects of their combat and/or non-combat war experiences with other veterans in a safe, confidential, and supportive environment.

Understanding and Supporting Students with Asperger’s Syndrome

While statistics on the incidence/prevalence of students diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome attending universities are not clear, anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that the numbers are rapidly rising.  Recently, one of our clients/students brought to our attention the video, “Understanding Asperger’s Syndrome: A College Professor’s Guide.”   This video is geared towards faculty and instructors, while a second video, “In My Mind,” is intended to help individuals to better understand the world through the lens of a person experiencing Asperger’s.  It is our hope that the videos will support your efforts to better understand and serve this population of students.

If you need additional support/consultation, please don’t hesitate to contact a staff member at The Counseling and Human Relations Center at (603) 535-2461.

Meditation & Stress Management Workshop

The Counseling Center usually offers a weekly Meditation & Stress Reduction Workshop for students during the Fall and Spring semesters.

The group usually meets on Mondays starting at 1:15 p.m. and ending at 2:25 p.m. and takes place in the Hagedorn Library at the Counseling Center.

Students should call (603) 535-2461 to see if the group is being offered and to sign up for the group.
