What is Counseling?
Counseling provides students opportunities to talk about what is on their mind… things
that really matter to them. Students receive professional, confidential attention
from an objective counselor who helps them to develop new life skills. And counselors
help students to identify personal strengths to resolve unfamiliar, difficult and
disabling problems. The benefits from counseling are vital to retention and developing
"wellness" in mind - body - soul.
