Mental Health Services & Resources
In order to support MCC students’ academic success, a licensed mental health counselor
is available to meet with enrolled students for mental health assessment, and, if
needed, referral to treatment providers and resources in the local community, as well
as to other support services within the College. These mental health services are
brief, confidential and are offered to enrolled students at no charge.
Services are provided by appointment, either on the Bedford Campus, Enrollment Center,
Room 217, or remotely.
If you are in crisis, call 911 or go to your local hospital Emergency Room. Other
crisis resources are listed further down this page.
