Welcome to the BGSU Counseling Center
Welcome to the BGSU Counseling Center. We provide short-term, goal-oriented mental health services to promote student well-being and academic success. Our compassionate team is here to support students through challenges and to help them thrive.
Drop-In Consultation Services are available for new and returning students from 9 a.m. to Noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at 101 East Hall or Firelands students call 419-372-2081.
Drop-in Consultation Services:
Are brief meetings to help students manage relevant stressors.
Are used to assess suicide risk and make appropriate referrals, as needed.
Are not a substitute for ongoing counseling, which may be recommended during your meeting.
Are not guaranteed. For example. If multiple students arrive simultaneously, there will likely be wait times. Students arriving at the end of the service (i.e., 4pm) will be given crisis/after-hours resources and asked to return the next day.
Crisis after hours
If you or someone you know needs emergency care, call 911.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a non-life-threatening mental health crisis, you may speak with a counselor 24/7/365 by calling the Wood County Crisis Line at:
419-502-4673.
You're not alone - we're here to help.
