-- Peter also helps students get services from counselors and agencies in the area… like REACH, DSS, Meridian or Appalachian,
and MYgroup.
-- If a student is already working with a doctor or counselor outside of SCC, we can help set up appropriate supplemental support at SCC... such as providing safe places and people to meet with if things get overwhelming – or providing coaching focused on your issues and how to do well at SCC.
Regarding Counseling at SCC, Peter says:
“While focusing on whatever issue a student is wrestling with, I also aim to help lower stress and anxiety levels.
We all work better when we feel a little calmer and our minds are a bit clearer."
"School can be challenging but there are ways to do it with more clarity, calmness, and enjoyment… and a lot less stress.”
