Student Support and Wellness

Student Support Coordinators

MIAD students may receive non-clinical mental health support services at MIAD through the Student Support Coordinators (SSCs). Students visit the SSCs for help with a number of things, including:

• Adjusting to college
• Managing stress
• Developing coping skills
• Balancing school and life
• Receiving support when in distress
• Reserving the telehealth room for virtual appointments
• Connecting with on-campus resources to support their college experience

While counseling is not available on campus, SSCs also assist students seeking therapy in contacting the Marquette University Counseling Center or other community mental health resources. Student Support Coordinators also help students connect with a variety of off-campus resources depending on their needs. 

Unsure of what you need or who to contact? Email studentsupport@miad.edu and a member of our team will help you.
