Counseling
College Response
Mental Health is a key part of your overall health. Brief screenings are the quickest way to determine if you or someone you care about should connect with a mental health professional - they are a checkup from your neck up. The program is completely anonymous and confidential, and immediately following the brief questionnaire you will see your results, recommendations and key resources.
A few reasons to consider taking the screening if you or someone you know -
- have been feeling sad, down or empty (depression)
- experiencing mood swings from very high to very low (bipolar disorder)
- constantly worried, anxious (generalized anxiety disorder)
- troubled by traumatic events (post traumatic stress disorder)

Eligibility
Cameron University students enrolled in at least one class meeting on the CU-Lawton or CU-Duncan campus and paid the Wellness Center Fee are eligible for personal counseling. There is no further cost for services provided within the center. Unfortunately, OU and Western nursing students, concurrent and online only CU students are not eligible.
What To Expect
Counseling services are available Monday through Friday by appointment only. No referral needed to be seen. Anyone coming to the Student Wellness Center in crisis will be asked to remain in the center until they are seen. They will be top priority and seen as quickly as possible by a counselor.
Once each counselor has reached the number of students allotted a waiting list will be created. In the event that happens you can be referred to discounted counseling centers in the community or remain on the waiting list.
Getting Started
Bring your Cameron ID and fill out a request for counseling form. Before your first appointment you will be asked to fill out a counseling intake packet that takes about 30 minutes to complete. If you do not have your packet competed and turned in at the time of your first appointment, you may be asked to fill it out as part of your first appointment. Please call should you need to cancel, will be late or have any questions.
