Crimson CORPS - Apply Now! Counseling Experience.

Dear IU Student,

We are writing to inform you of an exciting new opportunity for students entering helping professions.

Crimson CORPS (Caring, Open-Minded, Respectful, Peer Support) is a student group created by Indiana University's Counseling and Psychological Services.

This group will be comprised of carefully selected undergraduate students, who will be trained to provide informal, accepting and non-judgmental peer support.

In addition, volunteers will be trained to recognize and refer students in need of more professional services.

The mission of Crimson CORPS is to promote a culture of compassion and action on the IU Bloomington campus and to bring awareness to issues of emotional well-being within the student community.

Why are we doing this?
* 1 in 5 of your fellow classmates is depressed
* 1 in 2 is overwhelmingly anxious
* 1 in 10 is coping with mental illness
* 1 in 6 has seriously considered attempting suicide

We are looking to create a diverse group of students who offer different perspectives but who are bonded by a common commitment to make a difference in the lives of their fellow IU students.

CORPS volunteers will be trained and supervised by the professional staff at Counseling & Psychological Services.

Training will be focused on the following skills:
* Active listening without judgment
* Engagement with people from different backgrounds
* Information gathering in a non-threatening manner
* Engendering feelings of trust and safety

You may contact Crimson CORPS staff at ccorps@indiana.edu <mailto:ccorps@indiana.edu> with any questions.

Sincerely,
Crimson CORPS staff

The club is open to majors and non-majors.

Weekly meetings are held every Tuesday at 5:30pm. Meetings include discussion of articles and TED Talks bearing on exciting current issues in the sciences of mind, as well as free pizza!
