invisible)registered with DRES. A large percentage of the students served by
the mental health unit have psychiatric disabilities or co-morbid psychiatric
disabilities and need mental health support to be successful at the university.
In addition,many University of students with academic difficulties and no prior
diagnosis are seen and assessed through the academic screening and assessment
process. I also am the director of supervision, training and coordination of
counseling psychology and clinical psychology graduate students of the United
