The Office of Student Affairs provides services to meet the counseling, personal development, and referral needs of the Hendrix College student body. The staff are helping professionals and paraprofessionals in career counseling, personal counseling, crisis management, developmental issues, personal choice and responsibility, and leadership development. The members of this department have specialized training in these areas. They do not provide extensive, long-term personal counseling or psychotherapy. In cases where such therapy is necessary, the Student Affairs staff refers students to an appropriate qualified professional.
Personal Counseling
Personal counseling is available for all students to help them develop life-long skills for personal growth and successful management of conflicts and crises. A list of referral resources is available for those who want or need additional help. Staff members will help locate counselors, psychologists, physicians, treatment centers, and other resources in the area.
Counseling Services are located on Washington Avenue. You may set an appointment or seek other counseling resources in person or by calling 501-450-1448.
