ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO SUPPORT STUDENTS

Additional Efforts to Support the John Carroll Student Community

In times of tragedy and sorrow, it is essential for the entire JCU community to work together to continue the healing process.  In addition to services regularly provided to students, we have partnered with professionals in the community to increase the ways we can assist our students.  You are encouraged to take advantage of the following opportunities:

• Beginning Thursday, October 29 and for the next several weeks the Counseling Center will remain open until 8:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday.  Additional counselors have been appointed to assist during these extended hours.

• For students who are looking to speak to a counselor about their concerns and the feelings they are experiencing following the deaths on campus, Drop-In Support will be provided in the O’Dea Room in the Student Center on Thursday, October 29 from 5:00 – 6:30 p.m. and 8:00 – 9:30 p.m. as well as Friday, October 30 from Noon-1:30 p.m. and 5:00-6:30 p.m.

• On Sunday evening there will be a session called Hope in a Time of Grief at 8:30 p.m. in the O’Dea Room in the Student Center.  This will be facilitated by Fr. Don Cozzens.

• On Halloween night stop by the Student Center for the Up All Night program in the Atrium from Midnight to 3:00 a.m.  Staff will be available to chat and coffee and snacks will be provided. 

If at any time you are concerned about your well-being or that of a friend, please seek help from the resources we have on campus. Counseling Center staff can be reached at any hour by contacting Campus Safety Services at (216) 397-1234. 

Please take special care of yourselves and each other during the Halloween weekend.

May the members of the JCU community continue to find comfort through their faith and prayers.
