Center helps solve problems
■ COUNSELING: From
homesickness to management
skills, the University has a
program that can help
By Ben Kwasney
Higher Education Reporter
Students who experience de
pression, social anxiety, stress
and relationship problems are the
most common visitors to the Uni
versity’s Counseling Center, said
Nancy Taylor Kemp, staff psy
chologist and outreach coordina
tor for the Center.
“We want to help facilitate stu
dent development and help stu
dents meet their academic goals,”
she said.
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.
