The Mission of the Mental Health Counseling and Wellness Center is to support students' mental, emotional, and well-being. We embrace diversity and acknowledge that everyone is unique and special. Our office is a healing space to help you manage your needs, such as stress, anxiety, or depression, and improve wellness. It is a Safe Place for you to share without fear of judgment. All services are confidential, and we will not communicate with anyone without your written consent. This department functions under the rules of HIPAA.
We provide in-person and remote free counseling sessions by appointment; we offer walk-in appointments on both campuses but it is recommended to make an appointment to decrease your wait time.

Staff and faculty are usually the first people a student will approach when stressed; how one responds can deter or help a student connect with the appropriate resources. We want to challenge the HCCC community to participate in these training opportunities, learn how to use correct language and develop skills to support your students.
Mental health initiatives included:
Training staff, faculty, and students on Mental Health First Aid, QPR (Questions,
Persuade, Refer), and JED campus.
Once you are a student and registered, you are entitled to our free services.
Our role is to advocate, support, and help you achieve your individualized Dreams. We will provide a Safe Place for all.
CONFIDENTIALITY: Rights to privacy and confidentiality are taken seriously. Communications between the counselor and student are privileged, confidential, and safeguarded by our staff. Counseling records do not become part of educational history. Counseling information is not released to anyone outside of the Counseling Center without a student's written permission. We will not release your records unless we have written consent. However, there are four exceptions to confidentiality: (1) Imminent harm to yourself, (2) Imminent harm to others or property, (3) Abuse of children, the elderly, or the disabled, and (4) Staff consultation and supervision.
