Get on track with WellTrack!

Now more than ever, taking care of your mental and emotional well-being is critical.  If you or someone you care about is struggling, you're not alone.  Sometimes it starts with feeling overwhelmed, easily distracted or irritable, or just feeling that something is "off" from your typical self.  A great starting point is a free, confidential mental health screening.  All Harper students have free access to mental health support through WellTrack, in addition to support services provided by our Student Development Counseling Faculty.
