Being a college student presents its own unique struggles, and these can be difficult to face. As a SEMO student, you don’t have to face these struggles alone.

We recognize the importance mental health and we have resources available to help you through your college journey.

Southeast students have access to free, professional counseling services. Our licensed and clinically-trained counselors are available to discuss any issues you might be facing. Every counselor will provide confidential, professional, and private counseling sessions. While it might take a couple of tries to find the counselor who feels like the best fit for you, our counselors will do whatever they can to make your counseling experience feel safe and productive. We even have trained graduate counseling interns so you can talk to someone closer to your age, if you prefer. You can learn more and schedule an appointment by visiting Counseling Services.

If you’re not sure about counseling, there are other resources available to you. If you think you might be struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use, Bipolar Disorder, or an eating disorder, you can take an online mental health screening. While this is not a replacement for an official diagnosis, it might be able to offer insights into what your next step should be.

We’ve also made plenty of educational resources available to students who may want to explore their mental health journey on their own. Here are a few resources you might find helpful:

  • Educational Resources
  • Coping Facts for College Students
  • American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
  • Crisis Textline
  • Find a Mental Health Provider
  • Mental Health Resources
  • The JED Foundation Suicide Prevention Resource
  • Suicide Prevention Resource Center
  • ULifeline Mental Health Resource
  • Veterans Mental Health Resources

No matter how you choose to tackle your mental health journey, we want you know you’re never alone. As a Redhawk, you’re part of a bigger family who can’t wait to watch you succeed. We all need a little help along the way, and we’re here to help you however we can.
