The Pro Bono Counseling Project serves a wide variety of client needs, including family and couples issues, anxiety, problems with self-esteem and social interactions, eating disorders, adjustment to terminal illness, grief, separation and divorce, physical and sexual abuse and other forms of violence.

The Pro Bono Counseling Project provides neither a crisis/hotline service nor treatment for patients with chronic mental illness or disorders due to drug and/or alcohol abuse.

Individual counseling for adults represented 64% (last year 61%); family counseling, including children and adolescents, was 19% of requests (last year 22%); geriatric requests continued to increase this year from 7% last year to 8% this year; and couples counseling diminished to 9% from 10% last year. More people in the Jean Steirn Cancer Program and the Private Counseling for Public Service Programs are requesting group counseling.
