Couples counseling is offered to address a variety of issues that may develop in the relationship, including communication skills, problem solving, and trust.

In order to be eligible for couples counseling, one person in the relationship must be a currently enrolled FAMU student. 

A psychiatrist is available to meet with those students who would like to discuss the option of medication. This service is provided free to students and is voluntary. As part of the policy of the Office of Counseling Services, those students who are interested in medication as an option must also meet with a counselor at least once a month.

Counselors are available to assist with crisis/emergency situations. If your concern is urgent (i.e. suicidal thoughts or attempt, experiencing hallucinations, experienced a trauma within the last seven days), you may walk-in for an appointment. After completing crisis/emergency paperwork, you will be seen by the next available counselor. 

OCS counselors are certified QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) Gatekeeper trainers. Our goal is to train as many FAMU administrators, faculty, staff and students as possible how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer a person to help.
