Student Health Services offers counseling, which provides the opportunity to talk to someone who will listen in a supportive and non-judgmental manner. Counselors help you clarify issues, explore feelings, and discuss problem-solving strategies. Common reasons students seek counseling are depression, anxiety, stress, academic struggles, problems with adjustment to school, low self-esteem, use of alcohol and other drugs, eating and body-image concerns, relationship issues, sexual violence, intimate partner violence, suicidal thoughts, concerns about sexuality and gender identity, loss or death of a loved one, family concerns, and creativity blocks.
ISSS also encourages all international students and exchange visitors to visit the ISSS office and speak with an ISSS advisor about any concerns related to their F or J status.
