Wellness and Counselling Services

Balancing your emotional, physical and mental well-being is an important part of the college experience and can be a challenge for anyone.

Making sure you’re eating well, sleeping enough, getting some exercise, managing emotions, and enjoying your relationships with friends and loved ones are all aspects of being well. When one of these things causes you problems it can affect your ability to make decisions, solve problems, and move forward with your life.

Your personal well-being is one of the keys to academic success. NSCC provides a range of services supporting well-being and mental health to help you:

  • Identify what might be affecting your school work
  • Explore and develop new ways of coping with difficult emotions or situations
  • Develop meaningful relationships
  • Connect with online resources
  • Discover strategies to help complete your school work, take tests, and manage your time
