Kai is affected, first, by the university’s policy that she can only receive two counseling sessions from the university counseling center. Had she had longer with the social worker, she may have been able to problem-solve, connect with other resources, and explore what she wishes to do in the future given the systemic limitations outside her control. I frequently experience this limitation with the law students I counsel – I refer numerous students to our university counseling center, but there are (understandable) administrative limitations to how many students can receive support and for how long.
