Job Description


PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Health and Wellness Center supports student success by recognizing that total wellness is essential to academic success. The Center strives to provide optimum physical and mental health services to the college community in a confidential environment with sensitivity to individual needs. Quality clinical services, innovative health, wellness promotion activities, and outside referrals to low-cost providers in the area are provided in a caring, confidential, cost-effective, and convenient manner. Full-time and part-time students currently enrolled in SAC credit classes are eligible for services. Most services are provided at no cost to the student. A nominal fee may be charged for certain laboratory tests, prescriptive medications, and some medical procedures.
Each student is eligible for 10 free psychological visits each academic year and services are available for students experiencing academic concerns, family-related issues, other mental health concerns, or working towards personal growth. One-on-one short-term therapeutic counseling sessions are offered to students with an average of 6-10 sessions per academic year. Services are provided in-person and via HIPAA-compliant TeleHealth (Zoom), in order to decrease barriers and reduce stigma of accessing mental health services. If a student requires more long-term therapy or beyond 10 sessions, the psychologist will connect the student with an off-campus resource that can best meet the needs of that student to address: Alcoholism, anger, attention deficits, anxiety, body image, disability, domestic violence, fears and phobias, financial difficulties, depression, gambling addictions, grief and loss, human trafficking, life transitions, panic attacks, pornography, relationships, sleep, spiritual crisis, trauma, self-harm and suicide, and substance abuse. Join us in creating a culture of safety through inclusive, trauma informed care.
GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Provide outreach services to the campus community. Provide consultation, support, and brief psychological counseling to students whose mental or emotional problems interfere with success in college. Provide crisis intervention to students and staff as needed. Provide referral services to students and staff in need of psychological resources beyond those provided on campus. Consult with faculty, staff, and administrators regarding psychological issues which may influence the behavior, motivation, and learning process of students.
