College offers help for stress, mental strain

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month. With the stress of finals upon CSC’s students, Campus Counselor Jerry Cassiday’s door is open for students dealing with stress or more serious mental health issues.

“My door is open to the general student population,” Cassiday said, “It is best to set up an appointment, but walk-ins are always welcome.”

Cassiday received his counseling degree from CSC and is Nebraska State Certified. He started working at CSC immediately after he graduated with his masters from the CSC Counseling Program. Cassiday is also in charge of Disability Services on campus.

“I encourage students to make use of these services, whether they just need someone to talk to or have serious issues,” Cassiday said.

To make an appointment, call 308-432-6268. If the issue is urgent, call 308-430-4593. If there is an emergency, call 911.
