Therapy isn’t only for people with a mental health diagnosis. It can also be a place to talk through stress, work through a difficult experience, or better understand what you’re feeling. If you’re considering it, finding a therapist you feel comfortable with may take time, and that’s okay.

As a proud partner, Georgian Court University is committed to supporting student mental health and well-being.

Georgian Court students connected with students at Universidad de Monterrey in Mexico during the spring 2026 semester through a virtual exchange focused on social justice and cross-cultural learning.

Led by Dr. Elissa Cutter, Associate Professor of Religious Studies and Theology, the partnership brought an international experiential component to the Social Justice Ethics course, grounded in Catholic Social Teaching. Throughout the semester, students worked with their peers in Mexico to examine racism through different cultural perspectives.
