Mental Health Counseling Services

Personal counseling is available to assist students in distress. Our licensed counselor provides free short-term or crisis counseling for students. If long-term help is needed, students are referred to appropriate external resources.

Strategies of Behavioral Intervention

SOBI

The Strategies of Behavioral Intervention (SOBI) policy at the Alamo Colleges District was created to guide our College community to recognize, prevent and respond to incidents that are disruptive, threatening, or violent.


Examples include (but are not limited to):

  • signs of harassment
  • intimidation
  • extreme anxiety
  • depression
  • threatening harm
  • erratic behavior, or
  • disconnect from reality

When in doubt, please report!

More often, faculty and staff will observe and report at-risk behaviors; however, students are encouraged to review the SOBI guidelines and report concerning behaviors to the SOBI response team.

Take a Mental Health Test

It is common for college students to experience mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression. The NLC counseling office is here to support you and remind you that managing symptoms is possible.

Take a Mental Health Test/Screening, by Mental Health America, which is a quick way to assess symptoms of a mental health condition.
