Instead of Mandated Therapy: Mandated Educational Programming

Mandated therapy following a student assessment is a troubling concept for many counselors.

They believe strongly that therapy and counseling should always be voluntary, not coerced.

At the same time, everyone understands that at-risk students can’t simply be ignored; an appropriate response is essential.

Is there a way to reconcile the need for action with the ethical concerns of counseling staff?

Brian Van Brunt, Ed.D., and Jason Ebbeling, J.D., believe there is. They propose a mandated education program as an alternative–and they outline the details.

We discuss how to create programming similar to that offered for students who violate alcohol policy, but built around the issues of suicidal behavior, aggressive actions, and domestic violence behavior.

In this 90-minute presentation, we explain:

• How to integrate educational programming into existing threat-assessment programs.
• How to create a strong program partnership between counseling and judicial affairs.
• How to develop short-, medium- and long-term formats tailored to the specific needs of referrers.
• What to include in each program session, for each format length.
• How to select and train the right people to lead sessions.
• What the legal implications of educational programming are for your institution
