Race-Based Violence and Social Injustices
The OUCC staff join all of those saddened and grieving over the history of violent and egregious acts against communities of color, most recently exemplified by the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and more. We recognize the biases and prejudices ingrained within our society by way of systemic racism and pledge support for all of those impacted by these traumatic events. We pledge to do our own internal work around race, particularly those of White and European descent, to shine a light on those underlying biases and prejudices that have been internalized.
Who can use the OU Counseling Center?
If you are a student, you can take advantage of the Counseling Center’s services. Counseling services are based on a short-term model. If long-term counseling is indicated, the staff is happy to help with outside referrals. If you are an OU staff member, we will be happy to consult with you and facilitate a referral within the community.
How to get started
In order to meet with a counselor, you can call or come in to the Counseling Center and schedule an appointment. Same day appointments may be available, subject to counselor availability.
