Navigating a new university and community setting may seem a daunting and overwhelming task for students who are not aware of what resources and services exist and how to take advantage of them.
The clinical case manager meets with students to discuss their needs and struggles and determines how best to assist them. Students are then connected with resources and services on and off campus to help them meet their needs so that they may be successful at 亚色影库.
Some examples of resources and services with which students can be connected include:
- Resources for basic needs such food, toiletries, clothing, housing, and utility assistance
- Mental health resources for both outpatient and inpatient services
- Assisting students in signing up for health insurance, SNAP (formerly food stamps), and LIHEAP (heating assistance) through medical assistance
- Identifying and referring to appropriate campus resources for a variety of concerns
- Help you find the resources or services you need if you are struggling and are unsure where to go for help
The clinical case manager's office is located in the 亚色影库 Counseling Center in the Center for Health and Well-Being, on the ground floor of Suites on Maple East.
Call 724-357-2621 or email counseling-center@iup.edu for more information or to schedule an appointment.
