Stress. Chances are you are very familiar with the concept. For college students, stress seems to be everywhere you look. From the battery of tests, quizzes, and classwork to the stress of life in general, it seems impossible to escape it.

For many of us, school is not our only source of stress. So then what’s to be done about it? While there is no cure for stress just yet, we can find ways to manage it. USG helps makes this easier.

For instance, the Center for Counseling and Consultation at USG offers;

• Intake and Emergency Services
• Individual/Couples Counseling
• Career/Major Counseling
• Group Counseling
• Workshops
• Bystander Training for Students, Faculty, and Staff

Free of charge to students and their significant others in the case of couples counseling. While many people may be hesitant when it comes to seeking out help for their issues, it is important to understand that there are people ready and willing to help you out in your time of need. Plus, all this help is CONFIDENTIAL.

As stated by the CCC staff themselves, “The mission of the Center for Counseling and Consultation (CCC) is to foster learning, growth, wellness, and success in the Universities at Shady Grove community…”

USG may be a small campus, but it has many big ideas that are put to work for the students. Whether a current student, a prospective student, an incoming student, or a member of the community, USG offers everyone something. I hope to be able to show everyone why USG is the place to be.
