Introducing the Counceling Center at Keene State College

I am a true believe that things happen for a reason. The reasons for people becoming addicted to drugs or alcohol is normally because of something that happened in their life that they are incapable of dealing with on their own. Drugs become an escape for that person andused to help hinder their problems. Luckily, there is help for those struggling with this. The counceling Ceneter at Keene State College works with people to increase self-awareness, identify their needs and values and improve relationships in their life.
