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.

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.
