| Counselling services are available for students on Nelson, Elgar and Whitehorse Campuses. The counsellors work with students individually or through a variety of group programs to help them perform at their best and make the most of their study at the Institute. Students can use the services for support with educational or personal issues. Whether continuing or returning to study, many students experience changes in their personal lives, their careers and the way they think about the future. Sometimes understanding and adjusting to these challenges is not easy. The counsellors are qualified professionals who have specific training and experience in helping people feel comfortable about sharing their problems and working towards realistic solutions. A specialist international counsellor provides assistance for international students in adjusting to TAFE and to life in Melbourne. Some of the reasons students seek counselling include: - work or study problems
- study skills
- lack of motivation or direction
- stress
- depression
- anxiety
- loneliness or homesickness
- loss and grief
- relationships
- family difficulties
- financial pressures
- drug or alcohol concerns.
As an alternative to face-to-face counselling e-counselling is now open for online counselling and support. Students can use e-counselling 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and access it from any computer connected with the Internet. |
