 Whether it is the result of genetics/brain chemistry, external stressors, or both, sometimes the pressure of life can lead to feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, and alone. Being in a new environment, academic pressure, relationships, financial concerns, trying to fit in, and family concerns are just some of the stressors that can make college a particularly stressful time in one’s life. If you are feeling overwhelmed, don’t forget that help is available!

If you would like to talk to a counselor, contact the Health and Wellness Center at (479) 968-0329 to make an appointment.
