is working on, citizens may perform a number of
actions. If you are not a resident of this state,
write the Congressman and Senators of your

The urgency of your support is for the future
of your own well-being as well as that of all
citizens. With your participation, efforts of men,
and women too, such as ROSA PARKS, will
never be rendered useless.
For you and me,

Taking drugs, abusing alcohol and socio-sex-
ual promiscuity are just a few alternatives to the
manie-depressive elements that may typically
interfere in the life of an average college
student.
At the Atlanta University Center Student
Crisis Clinic, well-trained personnel have
devised something they see as a better
alternative — it’s called listening.
“I place a great deal of emphasis on student s
developing self-awareness,” insisted Ms.
Annette Church, A.U.C. Crisis Clinic
Psychiatric Social Worker. “The services
offered here are aimed at helping students
resolve emotional conflicts that may interfere
with their academic performance and social
relationships,” she added. Ms. Church asserted
that direction is the mainstay for student s seek
ing to achieve their academic and career goals.
When asked to describe a typical problem of
students seeking services in the crisis clinic, Ms.
Church noted that, sometimes students attempt
to discover negative alternatives but yet, there
is no typical student case, the social
psychiatrist contended. “The problems run the
gamut,” she affirmed, “poor performance in
school, lack of direction, you name it and the
problem exists.”
October and February appear to be the peak
periods in terms of the number of students who
frequent the clinic throughout the year. This,
according to Ms. Church, is “because students
are really recognizing that they are in school
and they have some serious work to deal with,”
She disclosed.

Students can phone in or walk into the clinic
located at Spelman’s back gate entrance in the
same building housing the A.U. Center Ad
ministrative offices. “We would try to en
courage the students to come in on a regular
basis until the problem is resolved or at least un
til the student begins to feel better about
herself,” stated Ms. Church.
Teachers also are allowed to make referrals to
the clinic and in fact, are encouraged to do so.
However, noted Ms. Church, teachers should
make a concerted effort to feel the student out, to
find out the student’s disposition in relation to
mental health counseling. “Being of assistance
to people if they don’t want assistance can be a
difficult task,” surmised the social worker. Ms.
Church also noted that disciplinary problems
are often the result of emotional disturbances —
students acting out their inner feelings.
In an effort to become more visible, the crisis
clinic staff, which is coordinating outreach
programs with the student personnel services
throughout the entire Atlanta University
Center.
Are you lonely? Depressed? Nervous? Failing
in school and trying to get it all together? Why
not take time to have someone listen to you? The
Atlanta University Center Crisis Clinic wants
to help you get it all together.
Editor’s note: Crisis Clinic hours are Monday
through Friday, 9 A.M.-5 P.M.
