Referral Services
Are you having a bad day or just need someone to talk to? Pueblo Community College (PCC) cares about students and offers an approach to their mental and emotional needs through community partnerships we have developed over the years. The Pueblo campus offers referral services that will address issues by utilizing community advocates like Health Solutions and the Health Clinic. These services take a holistic approach to care. Services are available for students in need of a referral, or if they just need a moment to vent. PCC believes in solutions to life’s most difficult concerns and this is why the College will work to connect students with the professional care they deserve.
Referral and guidance services at PCC are available to you Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. While PCC does not have certified counselors, the College can offer referral and guidance services in a student’s time of crisis. These individuals have years of experience working with a wide range of students from all walks of life.
