NBCCD Counselling

Mental Health and Community Support Resources

At NBCCD, we recognize that success encompasses physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Our commitment is to cultivate a supportive environment, empowering students to excel academically, personally, and socially. We encourage students to utilize the mental health resources available through our College Counsellor and other community supports.

The College Counsellor provides confidential support services and often acts as a student advocate for students with disabilities and/or mental health, sexual health, and relationship issues. The Counsellor is also your resource for career counselling and psycho-educational testing, as well as help in crisis situations and other matters affecting student life and/or academic performance. Reach out to Kristi at kristi.clarke@gnb.ca.
