Counseling and Mental Health

During your time at Gustavus you may encounter new challenges you have never encountered before. We understand these challenges are often mentally and physically draining. When you encounter challenges you find too great to take on yourself we encourage you to seek guidance from the Counseling Center. The Counseling Center is a great place to find information or seek help with depression, eating disorders, anxiety, family relationships, or if you just need someone to talk to.
