Counseling and guidance center ready to help

Personal problems and career moves raise tough questions. The Purdue Counseling and Guidance Center (PCGC) can provide a safe, private place to find help.

The center is open at no charge to Purdue staff and students, and to adults in the community. Trained counselors, with emphasis on confidentiality, help clients find a will and a way to overcome the stumbling blocks and go forward.

The center is for personal growth and mild or moderate psychological difficulty. It is not for crisis, medical, psychiatric or severe psychological needs, but it can make referrals for such instances.

Counselors in this accreditation program are advanced graduate students supervised by faculty in the Counseling and Development Program in the College of Education.

Center office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. More information is available at www.edst.purdue.edu/pcgc or by e-mail at pcgc@purdue.edu.

Appointments are in the afternoon and evenings. To schedule an appointment, call 49-49738 or visit the office at Room 3202, BRNG, during office hours.
