Remotely access counseling services by contacting Andrea Bench (abench003@drury.edu) or Ty Thornton (tthornton003@drury.edu).

University students often encounter a great deal of stress as a result of the academic demands placed upon them. You may feel as if these pressures exceed your current capacity to cope, which may lead to sleep problems, an urge to isolate, feelings of anxiety, or even panic. It’s also not uncommon to experience stressors which are brief in nature, often resolving on their own. Other times, stressors are ongoing and can be difficulty to manage, in which case, it would be appropriate to seek the services of the behavioral health center in FSC 114. Reaching out is confidential, and making an appointment is easy.

How to Make an Appointment
