Referrals to Counseling
If you feel you need additional assistance with career counseling, study skills, test anxiety, stress management and related issues, we can make a referral to NSCC counselors. We can also make referrals to outside agencies and organizations for non-academic concerns.
Public Health of Seattle & King County
The Women's Center sponsors visits from a bilingual (Spanish/English) outreach specialist during Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters. You can find the outreach specialist, Brett Downey, outside the cafeteria every Wednesday from 11am–12:30pm. Or, contact him via email or phone (206-296-0881).
See the Seattle & King County Public Health website for information during Summer quarter.
