Mental Health Promotion & Suicide Prevention
The UD Counseling Center provides mental health services to University of Dayton undergraduate and graduate students. Licensed mental health professionals and graduate trainees provide group and individual therapy services, as well as one-time and crisis support. To speak with a provider or connect to ongoing services, visit the Counseling Center in Gosiger Hall during Drop-In Hours, which are updated each semester on the Counseling Center's website.
