Clinical therapists are available through our community partner Cedar Creek Integrated Health. Cedar Creek uses a short-term counseling model that aims to address student's concerns in eight sessions. If students need additional services beyond this they may be able to receive them depending on the needs and availability of resources. Depending on the referral needs additional low-cost services are available through a number of our community partners.

Confidentiality:
A number of confidentiality guidelines and statutes are recognized on campus specifically through our program. These programs are required by law and professional ethics to protect the confidentiality of all communication between advocate and client, counselor and client, and health provider and client with the exception of instances of harm to self or harm to others.

HLPS are activities that individuals participate in and incorporate into their daily lives.

HLPs are going to be different for each person.

HLPs can be shared with family, friends, and colleagues.

Here are a few examples of what HLPs can be:

• Fostering community - through sharing a recipe or teaching someone a new skill (making fruit chips)
• Being physically active (i.e. SKC Disc Golf Course, SKC Fitness Center, SKC Silver Fox)
• Increasing our fresh fruit and vegetable intake
• Drinking more water
• Activities that incorporate intergenerational learning/learning together
• Beading
• Harvesting wild plants to make teas
• Many more
