    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does Women's Services and Resources Do?
    Women's Services and Resources (WSR) provides a wide variety of service for all the students and faculty at BYU. These services include seminars and conferences, mentoring, short-term counseling, support groups, volunteer opportunities, and lectures. Each month we offer workshops or conferences on a topic pertinent to women's issues.
    Call or check the website for updates on conferences and other events.
    Why is there an office for Women's Services and Resources?
    We want to encourage each other through the challenging issues and decisions women face today. Our pledge is to be supportive to all women and men who come into our office; we want to serve students as they endeavor to accomplish the aims of a BYU education.
    We can help students locate and access resources, as well as provide the services listed above.
    What is a non-traditional student and how does WSR help them?
    A non-traditional student could be a single parent who is in school, an older student who has never attended college before, or a student returning to school after a long hiatus. We have a handbook for non-traditional students located in the 'handbooks' section of our site. Non-traditional students can use the handbook to find out about tuition assistance, housing assistance, affordable child care and more.
    Can men get help at WSR?
    WSR is both for male and female students. Services available to men include helpful information on eating disorders, abuse, dating violence and more. The professionals at WSR are more than willing to listen to any concerns from men.
    How can I contribute to the WSR blog?
    If there is a topic you are dying to hear about, you can send us an email suggesting the topic and we will create a post. Or, if you are feeling adventurous, you can be a guest blogger! Again, let us know via email. Of course, you can always leave comments on posts--we love to hear from you!

    Is there counseling available at WSR?
    Although WSR is not a counseling center, we do have counselors on hand who can answer questions and provide information to students facing personal challenges in their lives including eating problems, abusive relationships, depression, etc. Short term counseling (1-3 sessions) and support groups are provided through WSR.
    When are events held and how much do they cost?
    Events are FREE to students, faculty, and staff and are held periodically throughout the year. Please visit our website and blog for times and dates.
    What services does the nutrition counselor offer?
    The nutrition counselor is a senior in the dietetics program. The counselor will be able to provide basic information about how to plan a better diet, teach about portion sizes and help you understand the Food Guide Pyramid. In addition to confidential consultations (which you can schedule by calling or visiting our office), the nutritional counselor also contributes to the WSR blog on a regular basis.
