Outreach Services

In addition to providing services to students who come to the SUNY Fredonia Counseling Center for help, the SFCC also reaches out to the campus community through its educational programs. SFCC outreach programs are geared towards promoting personal growth and educating students who may be concerned with a variety of social, emotional, and academic difficulties.

The Counseling Center’s outreach theme for the 2011-2012 academic-year is FEEL BETTER FAST. College is a fast paced environment and students do not have time to lose on anxiety, depression, and stress.  Presentations will be interactive, inviting students to share the challenges they face and inviting them to learn how to elevate their mood, reduce stress, and FEEL BETTER FAST. Individual, small group and large group activities are designed to promote the development of healthy behaviors; personal and educational goals; leadership skills; realistic self-appraisal; satisfying and productive lifestyles; and enhanced self-esteem.



Faculty --Don't Cancel That Class!

There's no need to cancel your class if you have a conference, business trip, or other obligation. The SUNY Fredonia Counseling Center (SFCC), by way of the Don't Cancel That Class program, can cover your class by presenting any one of our workshops designed to promote critical thinking, intellectual growth, and healthy living.
