Counseling is a process where people can explore issues of concern in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Through counseling, individuals and families can learn how to enhance their relationships, develop unused resources more fully, and become better at helping themselves in their everyday lives.
At the WKU Talley Family Counseling Center (TFCC), individuals, couples and families are encouraged to talk freely, examine relationships, ask questions, and explore options. The TFCC strives to help individuals, couples and families cope with relationship issues and emotional concerns and deal more effectively with relationship and personal problems hindering their personal and interpersonal growth. The TFCC also provides programs for community outreach, family wellness, family education, and preventive programs.
