Our students are returning to school in person since the beginning of the pandemic. Many of them have never been in their physical school and have begun their educational journey online. So many students have experienced trauma, exhaustion, stress, and isolation during this past year which is why we want to welcome students to the counseling center. We want to have a place on campus where students can come and get the social/emotional support they need. We want this space to be welcoming and a place where they can get individual or group counseling or practice skills like mindfulness. We hope that we can continue to help mold students holistically, and we hope that this brand new counseling center and all the new materials going into it can help with that!
