Brief and Crisis Counseling

Though the college years can be fun and exciting, they also can be trying times. Students must deal with multiple stressors in regard to managing their time, money, academics, relationships and the new burdens that go with new freedoms. For returning adults, there are the realistic demands of their multiple responsibilities and challenges. In addition, a student’s capacity to cope is affected by their overall mental and emotional adjustment, past experiences, and the level of their social support.

Students who become overwhelmed by the pressures they experience bring their confusion, anger, frustration and anxiety into the classroom with them. Faculty and staff are often the first point of contact for these students and the first to notice students who are disruptive or in distress. These leaders can play a key role in linking students with Delta’s Counseling services. 

Brief and Crisis Counseling Services are available to help students and assist staff in the Counseling/Advising office located in D102.
