Counseling Center
508-626-4640
Mon - Fri 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Counseling Center at FSU is committed to helping veteran students with mental health assessment, treatment, and referrals.
- While many veterans return from deployment without problems related to combat, every combat veteran takes home some degree of combat stress.
- Around 20% of combat veterans return home with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). More return with other treatable mental health issues.
- Sleep difficulties, anger, and being misunderstood by civilians are common experiences for many combat veterans returning home.
- Combat veterans who return home after deployment with adjustment problems may be having normal reactions to an abnormal experience (war).
- Counseling can be helpful to veterans by being action oriented, focused on solutions, and time limited.
If you are a FSU student and a veteran and would like to talk to someone, please contact us. We want to help.
