The JMU Counseling
and Student Development Center (CSDC) provides the highest quality
individual and group counseling to JMU students struggling with problems common
to a college population, and it serves as an assessment and referral source for
students with more serious and chronic psychological difficulties. The CSDC
also engages in active outreach efforts that focus on the prevention of
problems and that maximize the potential of all students to benefit from the
academic environment and experience.
What are the top
10 concerns of JMU students? The CSDC staff can help.
