Stress and Anxiety Are Common—CWC Can Help

submitted by cwc@augsburg.edu

Common issues students talk about in counseling:

– Feeling consistently low or sad
– Persistent anxiety
– Handling a breakup
– Loss of a loved one
– Past or current experiences of trauma or abuse
– Academic pressures and performance
– Housing or roommate tension
– Challenges with family members or at home
– Experiencing discrimination or micro-aggressions
– Exploring gender identity

It can be hard to make space for an in-person appointment. That’s why Augsburg has partnered with BetterMynd, an online therapy platform, to offer students access to free teletherapy sessions from a diverse network of licensed mental health counselors.

Note: BetterMynd is a new option for Auggies. Free in-person or virtual counseling services are still available to all students from the Center for Wellness and Counseling! To schedule with CWC, email cwc@augsburg.edu.
