Mental Health and Wellness at Life West

Life West is committed to supporting its students in their wellness!

Students can gain access to educational platforms to learn more about mental health, attend a workshop series focused on strategies for academic and overall wellness, and review outside resources that could benefit them!

Life West will be partnering with a counseling agency local to the area, and is committed to providing short-term counseling services to all students. Life West will provide access to several counseling sessions to students each year. The great news about this is if students wish to continue services, this agency has a low-fee sliding scale based on income, making it more affordable for students!

Curious about these services and resources Life West is providing to its students? Please visit Tia Ruggles in the Academic Success Center, Room 107 or email truggles@lifewest.edu to make an appointment to chat about it. You can also check back here in the Voice for more details to come.
