Wanda asked me to attend the Security Council meeting today, and I thought I would share the discussion since it applies to everyone. The topic today was “Campus Resources” – meaning resources for you and me, and our students if they experience stress, depression, or other issues.

Bruce Sanspree, University Police discussed generally the many stresses and issues faced by students, faculty and staff at Wake. In the past few years, these stresses have caused individuals to have problems. Sister Laretta Williams from Campus Ministry stressed giving attention to small issues and symptoms of stress before they get larger. Campus Ministry offers counseling and referrals to anyone on campus (758-5017).

Additional Resources available for everyone on campus:

  • Employment Assistance Program (EAP) – 716-5493- provides free, confidential counseling and referrals
  • University Counseling Center– provides counseling; located in Reynolda Hall
  • University Police– 758-5911-available for threats or threatening situations
  • Human Resources– 758-4700- handles work-related discrimination, threats or other issues
  • Compliance Hotline -877-7888- a confidential phone line to report workplace issues and problems
  • Campus Safety – a link from the WFU homepage which provides news updates, campus safety and security information, H1N1 information and information about the outdoor alert system.

These are good things to know about.
