Free and Confidential Student Mental Health Counseling Services
NPU has recently increased professional and intern staff in the Counseling Support Services office. If you know of students who are experiencing anxiety, having difficulty adjusting to college, or are hurting due to the many challenges before us – the pandemic, the suffering of family and friends, or the painful news of local and national events, we can help. Students can be directed to northpark.edu/counseling to request an appointment for free, confidential counseling services. We also have a new Instagram @npuhealth.
