Counseling support\/choosing Social Work<\/h3>\n

When Chastity McCourt started at ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ Western she had some personal trials that challenged her and made college difficult. Then, one February her mother passed away. \u201cIt was the hardest thing I\u2019d ever had to do \u2013 making medial and then burial decisions when I had no income, no support.\u201d With nowhere to turn, she reached out to our on-campus Counseling Center. They supported her in a time when she thought she had no support. \u201cIt was at that time I decided social work is where my heart is. I want people to know about the resources and supportive people out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
