College is often a time of adjustment and transition. Students may feel that their mental and emotional well-being is affecting their personal and academic progress. If you have concerns, help is available at SCC through an agreement between SCC and the SC Office of Mental Health.
- A referral form is accessible through the website or on the MySCC Portal, and may be completed by students, faculty, and staff. The student should be informed of the referral if possible. Confidentiality is maintained for all information received by counseling services.
- Students can receive up to three sessions with the costs waived. If a student has insurance, the information should be provided at the initial appointment so coverage and out-of-pocket costs can be confirmed.
- If a student has no insurance or does not want it to be billed due to privacy concerns, the student can identify as a self-pay client and receive the first three sessions at no cost to them. (Those costs are covered by SCC and the SC Office of Mental Health)
- After three sessions, students should expect to pay a co-pay if they have insurance or should apply for financial assistance with the Office of Mental Health. Fee reductions are based on income and payment plans can be arranged. The Office of Mental Health does not deny services because of inability to pay
If you are experiencing an urgent mental health crisis, call or text 988 for the National Mental Health Crisis and Suicide Prevention Line. The Office of Mental Health also has a Mobile Crisis team available 24/7 at 1-833-364-2274.
