PCCC Wellness Center's Basic Resource Guide

During the busy bustle of life and college semesters, students often neglect their wellness and basic needs. Unfortunately, this is a reality for many college students across the globe. While school is in session, the personal life of a student still continues. For some, this can mean personal challenges arising and impacting them in difficult ways. Students may struggle with personal situations and challenges such as housing, mental and physical health, hunger, financial troubles, and many other challenges. These situations affect the personal and academic qualities of student life. Some students may find it difficult to navigate their challenges while taking on the pressure of academic studies. Nowadays, it is so easy for students to prioritize and get lost in their responsibilities, while simultaneously neglecting their basic needs. The PCCC Wellness Center recognizes these stressors and offers various resources to support students here on the main campus. There are plenty of ways that students can take advantage of the resources offered at the Wellness Center. These resources and support services include information on food pantries, emergency housing, rental/mortgage assistance, legal services, medical resources, counseling support, financial counseling, and childcare resources.
