Supporting Behavioral and Mental Health in Central Illinois
**As of 12/19** Redbird Fred Dornback '62, '64 will match your gifts dollar-for-dollar, up to a total of $1,000, to help us soar past our Psychological Services Center goal. Help us unlock this donation so that the Psychology Service Center can continue impacting our Redbirds and our community.
The Stanley S. Marzolf Center, located on the fourth floor of Fairchild Hall, is a lifeline for children, adolescents, and college students, on campus and serving the greater Central Illinois community.
Providing crucial services like assessments, intervention and counseling to students and to the community is the mission of the Psychological Services Center, as well as teaching and preparing future leaders in behavioral health.
We aim to provide these services to families at an affordable rate, but we need your help and the support of the Redbird community to keep our services easily accessible and affordable for everyone.
During the tough times of the pandemic, public schools saw a dramatic increase in the number of children and adolescents who experienced learning and mental health difficulties. Colleges and universities also saw declines in academic achievement and student mental health—the effects of which are still present.
Throughout Bloomington/Normal and surrounding communities, there are extensive waitlists for psychoeducational evaluations, counseling services, and comprehensive autism diagnostic services.
Because of limited funding, the PSC can only provide a certain number of services on a sliding scale and, at times, can be cost prohibitive for struggling families and college students.
How will your dollars make an impact?
Embrace the opportunity to be part of something meaningful by supporting the Department of Psychology's mission to raise $5,000 by December 31, 2023.
Your generous contribution ensures that financial barriers vanish for those in need. All funds will be allocated for clinic resources (such as assessment instruments and protocols), training of graduate students, and financial assistance to families seeking our services.
Thank you for your support!
Your gift is more than a donation; it’s a chance for
brighter days for those who need it most.
Thank you for giving!
