Support for College Students
College is an exciting and transformative time, but it also comes with its own set of challenges. As an undergraduate student, you're navigating new academic demands, building social connections, and adjusting to an independent lifestyle. The pressure to succeed, manage coursework, maintain relationships, and balance extracurricular activities can feel overwhelming at times. Add to that concerns about your future, finances, and self-identity, and it’s easy to see how mental health can be affected.
At Freedom Support Services, we understand the unique pressures of being an undergraduate student. We offer a safe and confidential space where you can find the support you need to manage stress, improve your mental health, and succeed in your academic and personal life.
