The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh professional counseling program is boosting mental health services in the region—training professionals for the workforce and lending a hand when needed.

UWO Associate Professor Charles Lindsey and four graduate-level counseling students lent their assistance at Oshkosh West High School following a shooting incident on the morning of Dec. 3.

Lindsey has worked at UWO for the past 15 years and for the last 10 years has served as a Disaster Mental Health (DMH) volunteer with the American Red Cross. In 2013, Lindsey started a Red Cross DMH training component for interested students in the counseling program, with the idea that trained students under supervision could be prepared for possible rapid deployment in times of crisis or disaster.
