WHAT? WHY? WHEN?

The Guidance and Counseling Services Division can help you cope with the present or plan your future on your own terms; help you locate your strengths; limit your weaknesses; and, explore things about yourself that you might like to change or improve. It will help you understand your feelings and the way you react to people, things, situations and explore ways of coping with them. Schooling at tim

es brings new kinds of stress or pressure. The Guidance & Counseling Services Division exists to help you meet the demands of your academic programs and to make decisions about the present and the future. The guidance counselors will also point out the other kinds of help that HCC offers: where to go, whom to see and what approach to use. Whenever anything bothers you it is the right time you see a guidance counselor. Even if your difficulty seems small, getting support or guidance early can prevent bigger problems ahead. ACADEMIC
