Self-Help Resources

All students are invited to make use of the support available through Counseling Services.  While our team of clinicians in Counseling Services may not represent all identity backgrounds making up our student body, we are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment, where all identities, beliefs, and experiences are recognized and valued.  Our services have no additional costs and are strictly confidential.  The staff members of Counseling Services are able to use a variety of strategies to assist students in achieving their goals.  Furthermore, a referral guide for area support resources is available through Counseling Services for students who may need or wish to seek counseling off-campus.

While many students choose to utilize our services either in-person, via remote and telephonic options, and through our trainings & events, we recognize that having self-help resources available to explore any time of day can be valuable to our community.  With that in mind, please consider resources available through this page.  We have additional resources for Stonehill College community members location on our internal MyHill page.  Last, don't forget to follow us on Instagram: @stonehillcounselingservices.
