Counselling and personal development

The Counselling Service is a great resource for staff. The counselling team encourage staff to contact a counsellor:

• for consultations regarding the management of student issues
• where they require counselling attendance or follow up at a Progress & Discipline Committee hearing
• where they are seeking information or training on any aspect of mental health.

The Counselling Service is also Deakin's Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider. Through EAP staff can access short term (5 sessions) counselling, where the issue of concern relates to or has an impact on their work.
