Academic advisors are not mental health therapists, psychologists, or counselors, but they are effective advisors when they appropriately understand and apply counseling skills in their work with students. The use of counseling skills such as active listening, open ended questioning, and summarizing serve as the foundation for an effective academic advising session. This seminar includes strategies for understanding and applying counseling skills that help the advisor make effective use of the limited time provided in most advising sessions. Discussion includes tips for being empathetic and caring without getting “worn out”, referring students to other services such as CAPS, and using confrontation skills without being “confrontational.”</span></em><i><o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
