Counseling Services

Counseling and mental health services are provided for a variety of problems and circumstances including (but not limited to) abrupt life changes, depression, anxiety, academic difficulties, substance abuse, relationship issues, financial stressors, and adjusting to recent trauma or accidents. 

  • HSC students are allowed to directly contact a psychiatrist without a prior referral.
  • Services are FREE for HSC students
  • Access to service is VOLUNTARY. Some administration policies will allow faculty and staff to recommend strongly that a student meet with an HSC counselor or physician, but each student can discuss with a dean's representative his or her choice to refuse the referral.
  • Services are CONFIDENTIAL. Information will only be shared when written consent is granted to the service provider, or in any case which raises the duty to report the possibility of danger.

These funds shall be granted to student(s) based on character, scholarship and financial need as demonstrated by the student’s FAFSA application and a personal statement. The Program Director will make recommendations of the applicants to the Donor.
