Counseling and Psychological Services

• CPS is the right place for your student to start
  looking for help with personal problems that are
  affecting their functioning at the University.
• Students start by contacting CPS to schedule an
  appointment either by phone at 660-543-4060 or in
  person in the office at Humphreys 131.
• A staff of psychologists will assess your
  students overall well-being and the specific
  problem or issue of concern.

Counseling and Psychological Services

• The CPS psychologist will make recommendations
  about the type of help that may be of benefit to
  the student.
• CPS may be able to provide assistance to the
  student or the psychologist may recommend other
  types of help or treatment that would need to be
  obtained elsewhere.
• CPS works with students briefly, usually for a
  few sessions. Students who require more
  assistance than that are referred to other
  providers.

6
Counseling and Psychological Services

• Other helpful information
• If your student takes medication for a
  psychological condition, the student needs to
  continue his/her relationship with that treatment
  provider or transfer that care to a provider in
  the local community.
• Likewise, if your student has been receiving
  ongoing counseling or therapy and needs to
  continue with that treatment, the relationship
  with his/her current provider should be
  maintained or transferred to a provider in the
  local community.
