 ====Counseling Department====
-The counseling department varies a good deal from ship-to-ship; generally, however, there is always a counseling division and a protocol division.  On DS13, however, this is not the case: given the size and scope of DS13's diplomatic responsibilities as a regional headquarters, the Protocol is a separate department entirely,a nd is under the purview of Operations.

 The ship's counselor is responsible for the mental health of the crew and for advising the captain in matters of shipboard morale.  Some ship's counselors go at it alone, others have assistant counselors.  There is an enlisted rating of naval counselor.  These people are not professional mental health providers, but rather an equivalent of social workers.  All ship's counselors have counseling certification from Star Fleet and are assumed to have at least undergraduate degrees (but more often intermediate and advanced degrees) in a related field: psychology, psychiatry, anthropology, or sociology.
