Program Mission

The Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) Program is aligned with the mission of Franciscan University of Steubenville, preparing students to embrace Franciscan values and charisms as they become compassionate helping professionals who can be a transformative Christian presence in the world. Our mission is to educate and empower counselors with a foundation in evidence-based practices and a Catholic anthropology so they can promote the flourishing of individuals, families, and communities of diverse backgrounds. With a dedication to Christian and human values, the program is committed to training students with unwavering respect for the dignity and worth of every individual.
