If we are joining to make it better let's truly make it better not convenient. I would ask the university to reconsider it's desire to do away with this clinic it is needed in our community, and our program students also need this clinic to continue to be in place in order to obtain the degree desired.

The lower valley has the least resources and outlets, so removing this facility is just one more way of limiting us as a whole. I urge and plead for your assistance in this situation both for the advancement of students and for the future of our community.

The students have dedicated much of their time and efforts to serve their local community to provide mental health services FREE OF CHARGE, so that individuals in need of mental health services may be properly served. Such services may cause families to pay over $100 per session in some cases otherwise. The Department of Educational Psychology and Leadership Studies have sacrificed and built this clinic for the sake of the people of the community, which in turn, provide for the university.

I was part of the student committee that met with CACREP board officials and was interviewed by them in order to obtain accreditation. Our counseling program is top of the line and I am fully prepared and qualified because of it and my practicum was completed at the counseling clinic. I am currently a school counselor and refer many people needing services to the clinic. People that have received services here have come back and spoken highly of the clinic. I would really like this AWESOME AND EDUCATIONAL facility to remain open for the good of the community and our future graduate students from the UTB counseling program.

Many great counselors are from UTB. Not only does it affect the immediate surrounding areas, but it will affect our school districts if we don't have counselors that are properly trained to assist in mental health services through direct counseling, coordinating with community agencies, or identifying students that need mental health services. With traumatic events and crisis occurring we need to prepare counselors to be first responders to employees and staff in mental health. Do not close the counseling clinic. The counseling students need the facility to be properly prepared.

We live in low socio-economic status which needs services such as these. Our society needs these services to cope with the diverse issues we are facing. As a graduate student and current educator, I feel that field experience in an actual setting is a critical component of our learning process and will lead to counselors who use best practices with their client. I will feel very disappointed if the university administrators decide to close our clinic and would only hope they take our comments into consideration. I chose to attend this university for my graduate program due to its CACREP accreditation, the challenging coursework, and the knowledgable proffesors. It is very unfortunate that the administration is considering to do away with such a valuable resource to our community and the counseling program. As a community we need to make progress and move forward. To close the clinic would definitely be a step backward.
