Counseling Regarding Emotional or Personal Challenges
Students may periodically experience academic or personal situations or emergencies which can elevate the normal law school stress. The Law School’s Office of Student Affairs serves as a liaison in helping students obtain support services with emotional and/or physical challenges. The Office of Student Affairs offers a variety of services aimed at assisting students adjust to unforeseen and extraordinary circumstances.
While we very strongly encourage you to stop by Student Affairs, or set up a confidential appointment with the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs if you are experiencing emotional or personal challenges, we also want to apprise you of other available resources, as listed below.
On Campus Counseling
A counselor from the Whittier College Student Counseling Center will be on the law school campus Tuesdays, 11am – 3pm and Thursdays, 3pm – 6pm in Conference Room 2C to provide counseling, referral and crisis services. Appointments will be taken on the hour and may be scheduled by calling 562-907-4239. Please clearly indicate that you are seeking to schedule an appointment at the Law School. Counselors may also be available for walk-in consultations (if the door to the office is open, feel free to seek out the counselors).
After hours crisis support may be accessed by calling Whittier College Campus Safety 562-907-4200, and asking for the counselor on call. Appointment, consultation and crisis call fees will be billed to the student account at the rate of $30/session. A short-term, problem focused model will be utilized. If additional services are appropriate, students will be referred to private or community providers.
