Personal Counseling Services (PCS)

Personal Counseling Services recognizes the traumatic impact that riots and violence can have, even when we are not physically present or directly involved. The recent events at the U.S. Capitol are undoubtedly impacting the mental health and well-being of the Edgewood College community. We are here to help students navigate through these difficult times. Please contact us at 608-663-4148 to schedule.
