ALCOHOL AND/OR DRUG COUNSELING
The Counseling Center offers many resources and programs to promote alcohol and drug awareness, as well as individualized counseling and support. (Pictured below, WMC TV-5 Meteorologist Dave Brown speaks on alcohol awareness and the dangers of drunk driving.)
If students of Christian Brothers
University feel they may be experiencing an alcohol or drug problem, they
are encouraged to contact the University Counseling Center located in the
Thomas Center. The Director of Counseling is available for confidential
consultation on a walk-in basis or by appointment. Confidentiality will
not be violated unless authorized by the student or a threat to life
occurs. The Director will be able to provide information and testing, or
assist in making a referral to a local agency, treatment facility, or
clinical professional. The Director may be reached at (901) 321-3527.
