Counseling and Consultation Services
Counseling services at NMU are free for all enrolled students. No insurance or other coverage is required. We offer counseling and psychological services that facilitate students' personal development to participate more successfully in the NMU living and learning community.
After-Hours Crisis Counseling
Northern Michigan University has partnered with Health Advocate™ to offer students online crisis counseling services outside of traditional business hours. The service is 100% free to current NMU students and is available online between the hours of 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. and on the weekends.
Telehealth Services
CCS offers distance counseling via face-to-face video conferencing to currently enrolled NMU students who meet the eligibility criteria for distance counseling services. This service is available to students assessed as being appropriate for this form of counseling. CCS is a voluntary, confidential, brief counseling support for currently enrolled students. We are pleased to have the opportunity to serve you.
