What is Counselling?
- Counselling is about mental health not mental illness
- Counselling is about being well and staying well
- Counselling is about personal growth and development
- Counselling is about setting and achieving goals
If issues trouble you during your time at IT Sligo, consult the student counsellor as early as you can. The counsellor is skilled in the art of listening and has experience in dealing with the variety of situations and issues that students encounter.
Mental Health Promotion
Throughout the year the service runs a number of mental health promotions, these include drug awareness, harmful drinking interventions, managing stress and examination anxiety.
The student counselling service hosts a page on the Institute’s website providing information on a wide range of mental health issues including depression, anxiety/panic attacks and eating disorders. For further information click on www.itsligo.ie.
