Wellness Services

ECC Wellness Services encourages you to actively participate in your overall health and well-being by providing support. Some of the most pressing concerns on campus include anxiety, emotional support, relationships, academic difficulty, and depression. 

To address the prevalence of mental illness among college-age students, Wellness Services educates students on mental health and substance use and available resources when invited to the class by a faculty member. 

Wellness professionals are members of ECC's behavioral intervention team (BIT). Examples of severe crises include Suicidal or homicidal thoughts or impulses, Sexual or physical assault, Hearing voices, Misperceiving reality, and Overwhelming loss (such as a death in the family). Learn more about crisis intervention.
