Some of the services and resources we offer:

Individual Counseling: Our counselors offer one-on-one sessions to provide a confidential and supportive environment where you can freely discuss your concerns. Through collaborative conversations, we can help you gain insight, develop coping strategies, and work towards personal growth and well-being.
Group Counseling: We offer a variety of group counseling options that provide an opportunity to connect with peers who may be experiencing similar challenges. Group counseling can be particularly helpful in addressing specific topics such as stress management, mindfulness, self-esteem, and more.
Crisis Intervention: In times of crisis or emergency, our counselors are available to provide immediate support and assistance. We work closely with campus security and other relevant departments to ensure your safety and well-being.
Workshops and Seminars: We organize workshops and seminars throughout the year, covering topics such as stress management, time management, study skills, and building healthy relationships. These events aim to enhance your personal development and equip you with valuable skills for academic and personal success.
Referrals and Collaborations: If necessary, we can provide referrals to external resources and professionals who specialize in specific areas of concern. We also collaborate with other campus support services, faculty, and staff to ensure you receive comprehensive care and support.

In addition to counseling services, we offer mentorship programs designed to provide guidance and support in your academic and personal pursuits. Our mentors, who are experienced faculty members or senior students, can help you set goals, explore career options, navigate academic challenges, and provide valuable insights based on their own experiences.
