Mental Well-Being Resources

Connecting Students with Mental Health Resources

The college transition process is truly an exciting time as each student is embarking on a new journey of self-discovery and the pursuit of their vocational dreams. However, this transition can also feel a bit overwhelming and can be a time when students experience a large amount of stress and feelings of anxiety. No matter how you may be feeling, the CARES Center case managers help students connect with mental health care on and off-campus.
