Psychological Services Center Services Offered

Speaker's Bureau


The Speaker’s Bureau is a newly formed group of faculty and students who offer their services to speak on special topics.  These topics include family therapy, working with dementia or brain injury, women’s issues, spiritual formation, and parenting of children with disabilities.  The PSC is the sponsor of these free speaking engagements and any one from the community or business world may request a speaker through contacting the PSC. 

With the growing cost of education, it can be difficult to obtain qualified educators or professionals to speak on
topics of relevance. The mission of the Speakers Bureau is to provide the community with the opportunity to have qualified educators and professionals available for a number of occasions free of cost.

To schedule a speaker, contact the Regent University Psychological Services Center by calling (757)226-4488
