Individual Health Counseling
The Department of Wellness & Health Education is here to provide individual health counseling on issues such as nutrition, condom use, birth control, safer sex, and breast and testicular health. You can make an appointment for an individual session or you can stop by the Student Health Center and be seen as a walk-in. All counseling is completely private and confidential.
Meet with the Nutritionist
Each month during the academic year, the Student Health Center offers free individual sessions with a Registered Dietician. Appointments are twenty minutes in length and are made in advance. Walk-ins may be seen if time allows or if scheduled clients do not show. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call the 718-960-8900.
Condom Use, Birth Control, and Safer Sex
Students often come in to learn the correct way to use male and female condoms and to learn more about safer sex options. We use demonstration models to show the correct way both male and female condoms are used, and we're happy to provide you with male and female condoms, lubricant, condom wallets, and information. We also provide students with information about birth control options and Plan B® Emergency Contraception, when needed.
Breast and Testicular Health
We also use breast and testicular models to show students how to perform a Breast-Self Exam or a Testicular-Self Exam. These self-exams should be performed at home each month. People tend to skip these personal self-exams because they are not sure how to perform them correctly. We're happy to show you using demonstration models.
