The center helps students through individual and group ses sions. “Group is very effective in helping people work through those types of problems,” she said. Workshops and group sessions are offered in the counseling cen ter and residence halls. COUNSELING CENTER ■ WHERE: Second floor of the Student Health Center ■ DROP IN HOURS: 9a.m.-12 p.m., 1-4p.m.M-F, emergency hours 8- 5 p.m. M-F. ■ SELF-HELP AND OTHER INFORMATION: http://oregon.uoregon.edu/ -gtistadt/counsel.html “We try real hard to have them be down-to-earth and [provide] practical information people can use,” she said. Some of the workshop topics include eating disorders, multi cultural support, relationship is sues, lesbiarWbisexual support and stress management skills. “The helpful thing about work ing with the University popula tion is that a lot of students are at a point in their lives were they are really curious,” she said. “They’re very willing to grow.” First-time clients of the Center can come in on a drop-in basis to meet a counselor and discuss the severity of the problem and a course of action. The primary courses of action are typically problem-solving ses sions, individual or couples coun seling, group therapy or referral to another University or community resource. If a student’s been feeling un usually down for at least two weeks, they should consider vis iting the center, Taylor Kemp said. She also said students who are having trouble attending class should seek help. Emergency assistance is avail able Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. An example of an emergency situation would be a person in danger of harming themselves or another person, she said. In Oregon, all conversation with clients is confidential unless the client agrees to waive that right. The Center can choose to break confidentiality in cases of child abuse or other harmful situ ations, Taylor Kemp said. Smokers urged to take healthy hike ■ QUITTING: Acupuncturist will be on the scene to help stave off nicotine cravings By Patty Wentz Freelance Writer Smokers have a new challenge. The Student Health Center is challenging people to prove how healthy their lungs are by hiking up nine flights of stairs to the top of Prince Lucien Campbell Hall. ' The hike is being organized in honor of today’s Great American Smokeout. The “Walk of Life,” which will take place at 3 p.m. to day, is the main event in a week of activities designed to help people stop smoking. , Annie Dochnahl, an educator j£ with the health center, invites anyone, smoker or otherwise, to show up at 180 PLC to join the vertical trek. Walkers will be en tered into a grand prize raffle to win cross country ski lessons. Smoking is a problem, whether you are a daily smoker or just bum cigarettes at social events, Dochnahl said. "There is no acceptably safe level of smoking. While there are studies that show having one drink a day provides cardiovascu lar benefits, there are none that show smoking causes anything but harm,” she said. According to the 1996 Student Health Center Survey, 50 percent of respondents consider them selves to be smokers. Sixty-six percent of the respondents were freshmen and sophomores. Dochnahl said studies show the more educated people are, the less likely they are to smoke. She encouraged people who think it’s too late for them to quit. Smokers just have to quit, some thing people do everyday, she said. The health center will have an information table in the EMU to day and “Buddy Packets” for peo ple who don’t want to do it alone. A pair of smokers can provide moral support for each other, or a non-smoker can sign up to help someone they know who wants to quit. The health center also is pro viding an acupuncturist to help people through the cravings and anxiety that can come from quit ting in a cold turkey fashion.
