Seeing a professional counselor as a Eureka College student is easy and free. Counseling service is provided to both residential and commuter students. The services begin each year during the first week of classes in August and end each year during finals week in May.
Counselors are on hand to discuss a variety of issues: depression, stress, family problems, alcohol and other drug issues, anxiety, relationships, eating disorders, etc. Sometimes it simply helps to talk to someone who is removed from the situation.
