We know as students you are spending the majority of your time balancing your academic, work and personal/family obligations. College students today are faced with many social, emotional, and academic challenges and when experiencing these challenges, it is often difficult to perform well academically. It can also impact your health and home life.
The Mental Health Services at Laney College is a partnership between the Peralta Community College District and JFK University’s Community Counseling Centers. Laney Student Health Services allow students to receive short-term therapeutic services that address the challenges they experience both in and out of the classroom.
