Many institutions provide the professional help of counselors, psychologists, health educators, doctors and nurses. University Counseling and Psychological Services provide career advising, psychological counseling, self-help workshops and nutrition assessment and counseling. Certified Health Education Specialists at Student Health Centers provide individual assistance with stress reduction time management, tobacco cessation, and alcohol and drug evaluation. Peer counseling programs can facilitate the prevention of drug abuse by empowering student athletes with a sense of participation in solving their problem (Bernard, 1988).
