Counseling Center |
Welcome to the
Counseling Center at Miles Community College!
Your health and well-being play a vital role in successfully
achieving your academic, social and personal goals now and in
your future. Making healthy choices will help ensure your
success.
Most crises are self-limiting. You will survive! In the midst of
a crisis you may feel helpless and hopeless, so it is important
to know whom you can talk to or whom you can contact for help.
Friends, relatives, and clergy may all be supportive and
immensely helpful when you are feeling overwhelmed. Miles
Community College Counseling Services is always an option for
you.
Our number one goal is to help you achieve and maintain optimum
physical, emotional and social health so you can reach your
