Free, Professional Counseling at CCHP

Did you know that you can get free, confidential, professional mental health counseling right here on campus? As an Augsburg student, you can get up to 10 free sessions each academic year! The Counseling and Health Promotion office has several professional counselors available to meet with you.

Counseling is a great place to go when you need to talk to someone who is objective and who may be able to come up with new ways to deal with your problems. And it's confidential -- what you talk about at CCHP stays at CCHP.

Ready to make an appointment? Call Dianne at 612-330-1707 or stop by the CCHP house on the corner of 21st & 7th and we will get you started. If you do not want to meet with a counselor yet, check out the CCHP web site at www.augsburg.edu/cchp which also has a lot of great resources.

"Perk at Play" at Augsburg TONIGHT

Eric Perkins of KARE-11 Television will be at Augsburg tonight (Monday 1/21) to film one of his popular "Perk at Play" segments before Augsburg's men's basketball game against Bethel.

Perkins will join the Augsburg "Bunch of Guys Chorus" to sing the National Anthem before the men's basketball game at 7:45 p.m. at Si Melby Hall. Tonight's game is part of a men's and women's basketball doubleheader against Bethel (the women's game starts at 5:45 p.m.).

The "Bunch of Guys Chorus" was formed by Pastor Dave Wold (the public address announcer for Augsburg football, men's basketball and wrestling) several years ago, where he invites any male in the audience to come down to the court to sing the National Anthem. The chorus also occasionally sings in the daily chapel service.

To learn more about "Perk at Play," go to the KARE-11 web site:
