Personal Counseling Referrals

Personal counseling is a process of helping you, the student, use your own and other resources in overcoming difficulties or solving your dilemmas. Wiregrass Georgia Technical College does not offer professional counseling services; however, we do offer free confidential referral services to outside agencies and organizations to help you find the assistance you need to address the all-too-prevalent stress and conflicts that may distract you from achieving your full potential. Counseling can be the place to help you get "back on track" or "sort things out" so that you can succeed to meet your goals. Issues for which you may be referred for professional counseling include:

  • Interpersonal relations (family issues, grief, anger management, self-esteem, intimacy, relationship building, etc.),
  • Crisis-management (depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, rape trauma, substance abuse, anxiety reactions, etc.),
  • Addiction issues,
  • Frustration with behaviors that seem unbreakable, e.g. serious procrastination, anger, unhealthy sleep patterns,
  • Abuse recovery (sexual, physical, or emotional abuse).

Students in need of referral assistance should contact the Special Populations Coordinator. If the Coordinator is not available, students may contact the Executive Director of Student Support, Director of Retention or staff in the Academic Support Center on any campus.  For 24 hour emergency services, students may contact the Georgia Crisis & Access Line at 1-800-715-4225.
