Concerning CNC Students and Community Clinical Services
The College of New Caledonia offers a limited amount of personal counselling, so if a student is already receiving counselling services in the community, whether through the CRU, CAST, private agencies or other sources, the counselling that is available the the college focuses on issues connected to schooling, such as test anxiety, but is also available for crisis intervention. Please note that if the community resources that the student is already accessing consist of periodic visits to a psychiatrist in order to maintain medications, CNC counselling services may still be available for a range of issues; additional referrals to community services can also be arranged.
