Student Coping Support Circle Drop-Ins with MCC Counseling

Our hearts are heavy as we reflect on some of the multiple vulnerability factors that our MCC and greater Rochester community members are facing: the ongoing pandemic, racial unrest, and now even more senseless community violence. We are reaching out to offer our continued support; you are not alone as you try to make sense of everything that is going on around you.

Our goal is to ensure that students feel well-supported during what may be a difficult time, filled with pain and uncertainty. We encourage you to lean on one another and to reach out to a professional if you feel that you could use additional support. We would also encourage you to consider joining one of the below virtual Student Coping Support Circle Drop-in sessions, which offer free and confidential group support led by licensed mental health professionals out of our office at the MCC Counselling Center.

Student Coping Support Circle Drop-In with MCC Counseling - Thursday, September 24th from 1:00pm-2:30pm:

We will continue to promote positive mental health and coping on our campus as we move through the current crisis together. We welcome currently enrolled students to email counselingservices@monroecc.edu to schedule an appointment to talk with a licensed counselor one on one, if desired. We will also work to connect students to community providers and supports, if needed. Due to the dynamics behind the COVID-19 pandemic, we are temporarily transitioned to a remote service delivery model. We are conducting appointments via a secure video platform, as well as the phone. Our normal business hours are Monday through Friday 8:45am-4:45pm.

As a reminder, Counseling support is also available for employees through MCC's confidential employee assistance program, provided through the Human Resources Department.

Thank you for reading, and please continue to take good care of yourselves. We look forward to seeing you soon!

In solidarity,

Your Counseling and Disability Services Team
