The BSU Virtual Self-Help Library was designed and written by the staff of the Counseling Center. The Virtual Self-Help Library is intended to provide the Ball State community with vital information, which will enhance students' functioning both in- and outside of the classroom. This information is not intended to replace professional counseling, rather to educate readers concerning the academic, personal/emotional and psychological issues faced by today's college students. While the Counseling Center staff will not engage in telephone or e-mail counseling relationships, you can contact us via mail, phone, or e-mail to obtain further information. Authorship and contact information are listed under many of the content areas. The information in the Virtual Self-Help Library SHOULD NOT be reproduced without the author's permission.
