Your college experience is one of growth and learning with some expected bumps along the way. We all face a variety of challenges and obstacles in college and in life that can have negative impacts. Simply juggling the demands of work, school, relationships and everyday life can wear us down and leave us feeling stressed and overwhelmed.
When you're not feeling well – mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually – it can be difficult to put your best foot forward and to reach your full potential as a student. It is common to come across moments that are not easy to talk about regardless of how supportive the people in your life may be. At times, it might feel like you are the only one dealing with these issues, but you are not alone!
We have a team that cares deeply about your development and success. The Counseling and Student Support Center (CASSC) staff can help you find ways to manage difficult times and connect you with the resources and tools you need to cope with life’s stumbling blocks. We are here to support you through the challenges and celebrate your successes. Connect with us today by filling out our online request form or emailing us at cassc@nnmc.edu for more information.
