Welcome

Welcome to the Mount Carmel Counseling Department Mental Health page.  This page was created for our students who need to reach out to their counselor to express any emotions or feelings, process events, or just talk to someone. If you decide to submit a check-in, it will ONLY go to the counselors. Our students' privacy is paramount and the counseling department takes confidentiality extremely seriously.
 
Please take a moment to review this page and use the resources and contact information. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact one of our counselors.   

Remember...you are always loved and are important.
If you are in immediate danger and/or thinking of harming yourself, please call 911 or go to your local hospital.
