Advocacy counseling

The advocacy counselors utilize counseling skills to support the development of academic and life skills of students, including those returning to the College following academic suspension or dismissal.  Advocacy counselors provide intervention and/or referrals to community resources for students experiencing personal problems and/or crisis situations.  The advocacy counselors provide confidential assistance, advocacy, support, and consultation on behalf of individuals of gender and/or relationship violence on the campus including victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, harassment, and/or stalking.  Advocacy includes assistance in coordinating services with local agencies on behalf of the subject in all areas, including student services, the local campus police department, and other services as needed.  Advocacy counselors are available at the Elkhorn Valley, Fort Omaha, and South Omaha campuses and the Sarpy Center.
