College can be a very stressful time, especially if you are working, have a relationship or are involved
in other activities. Sometimes it can feel like it is all too much to deal with.

all current students free of charge. The Counseling Office is located within the Student Services Office
on the first floor of the AAB Building.
Counseling services offered include assistance with:
- Stress
- Depression
- Time management
- Mediation
- Anxiety or test anxiety
- Concerns about a class/instructor

If your problems are such that they cannot be fully addressed by the College’s counselors, you will
be referred to appropriate community providers.
The Counseling Office also offers workshops on personal awareness, communication, stress management
and other issues of interest to students. Additionally, information and resources related to health
and wellness are available through the Counseling Office.

Support for Armed Forces Veterans
Wor-Wic Community College is proud to have a significant number of individuals who have served in our
nation’s Armed Forces as part of our student body. The Counseling Office hopes to support veterans in
their transition to civilian life by maintaining an “Open Door” policy to current students.
The Counseling Office is ready to assist veterans with any service-related issues such as stress management,
psychological concerns, special needs resulting from combat exposure, family/relationship difficulties,
or physical disabilities that may benefit from accommodation.
