Counseling Resources
The Counseling Office are designed to help students identify interests, examine various majors, and consider basic values and priorities which contribute to success in planning educational goals. The goal is to use all available resources to assist students in making positive adjustments in their academic and personal lives.
Guidance and Counseling
Students may request counseling or be referred by a faculty or staff member. TEAMS is an early warning referral system through which an instructor can refer a student for academic or personal assistance. It provides a team approach to problem solving with the instructor, the student, and the counselor interacting. Through TEAMS, assistance may be offered in areas such as study habits, attendance, organizational skills, and stress management, among other topics.
Individual/group sessions or workshops are presented each semester on topics such as time management, study skills, financial planning, stress management, overcoming test anxiety, career decision-making, relationship issues, and self-esteem.
Programs on special topics are provided at the request of instructors or student groups. Students can expect conversations to be confidential. However, there are some exceptions to confidentiality. Counselors are mandated by law to report certain information in which there is possible harm to the client or other individuals.
Students may contact Ogeechee Technical College’s Counseling and Retention Coordinator at 912.486.7811.
