Student Mental Health & Suicide Prevention


If you are in Crisis - Dial 911 or you can text HELLO to 741741 (Free 24/7 Crisis Text Line)

We understand that outside responsibilities can sometimes get in the way of your academic progress and that challenges and uncertainties in life can impact one's mental health. We're here to help. The Student Success Center has counselors available to meet with students to help them work through difficulties. We can also refer you to outside resources if you're seeking long-term counseling or support. To ensure your success, we encourage you to talk about these concerns with one of the College's counselors.
