Faculty and Staff Attitudes towards Student Counseling Center and Its Services

Abstract

This study aimed to examine attitudes of staff and faculty members towards the Student Counseling Center and its services. The sample included 224 faculty and staff members from different colleges and different years of experiences. The authors have developed a self-report, four point Likert scale questionnaire to evaluate the participants' attitudes. The findings showed high positive overall attitude towards the counseling center and its services and positive attitudes towards specific dimensions related to counseling. The participants who have already benefited from the SCC services manifested higher positive attitudes than those who haven't. Recommendations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
