Asking for help can be challenging! At ÍøÆسԹÏ, we recognize students often encounter challenges in their family, work, and personal lives that can impact the fulfillment of academic goals. We are committed to student success. BCC has a Professional Counselor available to assist students with a wide range of personal concerns such as:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Feelings of low self-esteem or self-worth
- Stress Management
- Grief
- Thoughts of suicide
- Co-dependency
- Addiction
The Counselor can assist students in exploring the best options available to ensure personal success. This is accomplished in a non-judgmental supportive environment and may include an initial assessment, short-term solution-focused counseling, and when necessary a request for emergency services or referral to an appropriate program in the community. All counseling sessions are confidential according to HIPPA guidelines except in the event an individual discloses intent to harm themselves or others.
Personal Counseling Services are available by contacting the BCC Mental Health Coordinator, Tanya Lance. lancet@brunswickcc.edu | 910-755-8505
If there is an emergency after hours or you are in distress call 911.
