The recent tragedies that have occurred on the campuses of Northern Illinois University, Virginia Tech, and elsewhere affect
all of us - students, families, faculty and staff members. The staff of the Counseling Center extends our sympathy to the
communities that have been impacted by these terrible, tragic events. Please be aware that we are available to assist members
of the BGSU community as they cope with these and other traumatic experiences in their lives. If you personally feel affected
by the events at Northern Illinois and Virginia Tech or if you find these events re-triggering memories of violence you have
experienced in your life, please feel free to call the Counseling Center at 419-372-2081. If you work directly with students
and would like assistance in how to provide support and resources for them, please contact us. Our on-call counselors will
be happy to help.
