The Counseling Center Village[1493] is a website that brings together the on-line resources created by college counseling centers, primarily in the US and Canada (although there are some international sites represented as well).

Background
Originally introduced at the 1997 ACPA (American College Personnel Association) Convention in Chicago by psychologists David L. Gilles-Thomas and Wendy Settle, the Counseling Center Village has become a primary professional resource for counseling center professionals around the world. Colleagues separated by many miles are easily able to share their resources and expertise. Brochures, Policy and Procedure manuals, intake forms, workshop outlines, and more, no longer gather dust in offices or need to be recreated again somewhere else.

Mission
The mission of the Counseling Center Village is to bring together in a single organized web site the expertise and resources of counseling center professionals so that counseling center professionals can benefit from each others’ efforts. The majority of the content of the Village web pages is created by counseling centers professionals. Although links to non-counseling center sites are included, the emphasis is on gathering together resources, information, and services created by counseling center professionals.
