Extended Support Network

A Prevention and Wellness Program

by the Andrews University Counseling & Testing Center

The Extended Support Network (ESN) is a formal support system comprised of selected faculty and staff volunteers committed to promoting a safe and caring environment for Andrews University students. They are able to:

Provide a caring, safe, and confidential place to listen and allow students to share. Only in cases of risk of harm to self or to others may information be shared with appropriate individuals for safety concerns. Disclosures within the context of seeking support will not result in disciplinary actions.
Refer students to appropriate resources (e.g., Counseling & Testing Center, Campus Ministry, Student Success, University Medical Specialties)
Advocate for persons or policies that will help foster a safe and caring environment

If you'd like to talk with an ESN member, you can contact him/her directly. Let him/her know that you found his/her name in the Extended Support Network Directory and that you'd like to set up a time to talk.
