The Counseling and Human Services and the Educational Leadership departments at IU South Bend recently received matching Comprehensive Counseling Initiative planning grants from Lilly Endowment, Inc.

Foundational to this planning grant is the belief that in order to improve and increase the social-emotional skills, career readiness and economic well-being within the Indiana workforce, school counselor and principal preparation programs must be fully engaged and supported to provide K-12 counselors and administrators with the necessary skills to be transformational leaders in our Indiana schools.

Our collaborative teams at IU South Bend are pleased to present an innovative and timely opportunity for local professional school counselors and administrators to attend a targeted workshop directed at improving the social, emotional, and college and career readiness of K-12 Hoosiers while simultaneously cultivating the outlook of our state economy.

Good afternoon! I am posting a message from Dr. Jeremy Linton with the CHS Program about a current need for the newly launched community counseling clinic at IU South Bend. Please consider donating any art pieces that you can. Contact Dr. Linton at jmlinton@iusb.edu if you can help. Thank you!

Hello colleagues, friends, students, and any other persons reading this message. I hope this finds you well and enjoying 2017!

As many of you know, the CHS department launched a community counseling clinic in the Fall of 2016. As we move forward we need to do what we can to make our office space more inviting and warm. But, with a limited budget, that remains low on the list of priorities. That's where you come in! If you have any unwanted art laying around (particularly wall art but we will take anything) , or if you are an artist looking for a place to display your work, please consider donating or loaning them to our clinic. Your small gesture will make a world of difference in creating an inviting space for those in the community who come here for free counseling services. Often times the warmth of the counseling room plays a big factor into client comfort and success. So, ask that you please give it some thought. Email me privately if you have any comments or questions.

On another note, if anyone wants to know more about our clinic, what we are doing, and how we are operating, please let me know and I would be happy to provide you with any information.

Thanks for considering and enjoy the rest of your Wednesday!

Jeremy
