“I thought the process would be difficult…”

While on a normal check-up to UMD’s Health services,Joey noticed the counseling office. Without second thought he went right in.

“I thought the process would be difficult, but all I had to do is go up to the desk and ask.” Says Joey who is completely impressed by how easy it is to set up counseling sessions.

As UMD students we have easy, and accessible counseling available. No bending over backwards and jumping over hurdles required. It’s as simple as asking.

Joey is a Marketing Analytics major here at UMD and just like any everyone else keeping up with his grades and health are major priorities. Scheduling a counseling session is good resource among many offered at UMD to help students with their mental health. Counseling can be for whatever you’re dealing with, school or personal life.

“I was totally impressed by how simple it was!” So far this semester Joey has gone to seven sessions and says that having someone to talk to has helped him through some difficulties. Joey also reports having a clearer mind and suggests that everyone try counseling since it will benefit all no matter what their health is like.
