What are services like at the IU South Bend Community Counseling Clinic?
The IUSB CC Clinic is accepting new clients.
The purpose of the clinic is to provide high quality counseling services to the South Bend and surrounding communities and support students and families in participating partner local educational agencies while training the next generation of school counselors, school psychologists, and clinical mental health counselors.
Services are provided in individual, couple or family, or group formats with children, adolescents, and adults.
Because we are a training clinic, all counseling sessions are audio/video recorded and/or observed by faculty and field placement students for training and educational purposes.
Our services are confidential, and your privacy will be protected within the limits of Indiana Law.
We offer in-person services for the South Bend and surrounding communities and tele-health services to students and families that are part of the IU Regional Campus collaborative with Local Educational Agencies.
