Free, short-term counseling is available to help students overcome the many challenges that can cause stress and interfere with academic success. The main goal of counseling is to design a plan of action to overcome any current obstacles preventing students from personal or academic success. By the third session, plans will be made to refer the student to longer term resources, including community mental health agencies. SCC counseling services are limited to four sessions.
