About Us
The Brandeis Counseling Center (BCC) multi-disciplinary team is dedicated to treating all students with sensitivity and respect for diversity and individuality. We maintain the strictest standards of privacy and confidentiality and serve as a resource to the entire Brandeis community.
Multicultural Mission Statement
The Brandeis Counseling Center stands with countless citizens of the world in opposition to the continued violence against our Black/African brothers, sisters, and family. We condemn the racist killings of BIPOC people, and the historical, institutional and systemic racism and oppression that continues to oppress and traumatize people of African descent. Everyone in this country should have the same basic freedoms without fear of reprisal, or worse, death.
We have seen countless examples of racial injustice and indignity in recent years, yet we know that this sickness has been woven into the fabric of America for generations. We as an educational community must condemn the dehumanizing actions which are a national crisis. We must engage in collective dialogue and take specific action to build unity, trust and respect.
The Counseling Center invites students who have been oppressed, excluded, impacted by racial trauma, and "othered" to work with us. To learn more about who we are, please meet the staff. To check out our groups, please visit our group therapy page.
