Mental Health & Counseling Services

Mental health is a critical component of overall well-being, and SAINTS Health Center is committed to providing compassionate, professional support for students facing emotional or behavioral challenges. Our counseling services are designed to help students develop coping strategies, improve emotional resilience, and navigate challenges in a healthy way.
