Visits to Counseling Center increase after Sept. 11 BY EMMA RITCH THE GAMECOCK Student visits to USC’s Counseling Center have increased 10 percent since the Sept. 11 ter rorist attacks, but many more stu dents are affected, according to the center’s director. Russell Haber, Counseling Center director, said students don’t always visit because of “friends that have perished; it’s more indirect.” “Many of these students are worried that their life seems out of control,” Haber said. “This has in creased their own vulnerability.” Students dealing with trauma express their concerns in different ways. Haber said, “It’s coming up in their dream life,... their fears, ... their need to control... and their worries about the future.” Talking about fears and con cerns can be healthy, especially during wartime because “this is a time to be reflective, not just reac ■ tive,” he said. “The students are extremely healthy because they are able to look at issues in their life. I feel very good about the people who are com ing in [to the center]” Haber said. Tobin Lovell, an intern at the center, said: “I’m a little bit sur prised it hasn’t affected students more than it has. Many students are in a stage of denial.” Haber said more students have been seeking treatment for de pression, stress and anxiety since the recent wave of terrorism be gan, but some students who need help aren’t seeking it at the Counseling Center. “My concern is for the students ... that are beginning to take a fa talistic approach to life,” he said. Haber said students who stop studying and seeing the impor tance of everyday tasks such as go ing to class could be taking this ap proach. Haber compared the current stu dent experience to the experience during the Kent State massacres, which occurred when he was in col lege. “I was asking myself, ‘Is school relevant at a time like this?”’ Haber said. “As an older person now, I see that school is still rele vant.” Lovell suggested that University Housing implement programs to reach students who aren’t seeking help. He said the Counseling Center has been training resident advisers in how to deal with grief because “the R.A. relationship can be influ ential.” “We are willing to do program ming in the residence halls. We just need to find a perceived need,” Lovell said. David Pittman of University Housing confirmed those pro grams. “We’re not requiring R.A.s to do programs [for their resi dents],” Pittman said, “but we try to meet the needs of the students.” Haber offered to form a counsel ing group for international students to deal with the terrorist attacks and possible discrimination on campus, but has had no requests yet. “If there are a handful of people, we’d like to form a group,” Haber said. “We offer groups at request.” The Counseling Center offers both group and individual coun seling for all types of problems. Students who pay their health ac tivity fee, which is included in the tuition of full-time students, may receive 12 free sessions at the cen ter. Haber suggested that, during this confusing time, students come to a drop-in counseling group that teaches self-hypnosis for controlling personal stress. The group meets on Wednesdays from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. Haber encouraged students to come to the Counseling Center “to deal with small problems as well as big problems. We’re here for students.” “Our doors are always open,” Lowell said. Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockudesk@hotmail.com.
