Belhaven University seeks to meet the needs of students by fostering a warm environment of personal contact between students, faculty, and staff members. Additionally, professional counseling services are available on campus during the Fall & Spring semesters through the Christian Counseling Services Network. “CCSN” is a group of Christian counselors who have a heart for individuals who are hurting. They provide counseling and education that is Biblically based and psychologically sound. Each of the counselors is a graduate of the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, and each counselor is a member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. Appointments can be scheduled by leaving a voicemail at 601-724-5040 or emailing CCSN at counselor@belhaven.edu. The first appointment is free; after the first visit, there is a nominal charge of $5 per session. A short-term model of counseling (4-6 sessions) is used in order to best serve the greatest number of students. Those requiring more extensive counseling will be referred to services in the Jackson area.
Confidentiality Guaranteed: The CCSN staff complies with all standard confidentiality laws. Information is only disclosed to the University as required by law for the safety of the client or other persons.
