If we determine that your treatment needs require resources or competencies beyond our scope of care, we facilitate referrals to an appropriate mental health provider or a community agency.
Note: Due to our scope of practice as a college counseling center, we are unable to accept any cases that are affiliated with an ongoing court case/order.
SafeColleges
Washburn University is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all students, staff and faculty. As a part of that commitment, the University requires that all new students complete an online violence prevention program, SafeColleges. This online program provides information about consent, bystander intervention, sexual assault and more.
The SafeColleges training must be completed before classes begin. You will receive instructions via your Washburn email account.
BODStander Intervention Skills

some good, others not. This makes us
all bystanders. To help us make good decisions about how to respond to what we see, Washburn University offers Bring in the Bystander training and advocacy events throughout the academic year.
