Domestic Violence Workshop. They hosted “Domestic Violence: Beyond the Obvious” for students in our M.S.Ed. in School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling programs.

Representatives from the LGBT Center spoke to a packed room of students in the School Counseling and CMHC program, on statistics, strategies, and approaches to creating safer school communities for LGBT students, as administrators and counselors in the school setting.
