Mental Health
Creating support for students and developing talent to address the growing demand for mental health support.
On-campus support for students
Providing mental health support services to the Davenport University student body is of the utmost importance. We are working hard to raise the bar of support services offered to our students by creating in-house, readily available counseling and education for students across all campuses.
New degree programs to build talent
In the fall of 2023, Davenport is launching new degree programs to support our state in developing talent in the mental health industry needed to serve our communities:
Master of Science in Nursing, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner concentration
This program provides nurses with comprehensive, well-rounded instruction across all disciplines, which will help build skills needed to address psychopathology, substance use disorders and behavioral health. Nurses learn effective counseling and crisis intervention strategies, as well as how to conduct mental health assessments and provide psychiatric care and rehabilitation.
Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling
Davenport’s mental health counseling program takes a unique approach with a curriculum that builds cultural competency so you can be effective in the community at the highest professional level. Course materials and assessments reflect the diverse reality that mental health counselors experience so that you excel as a counselor in a mental health profession.
