Office of Mental Health and Wellness

Welcome to Mental Health Services

Lone Star College Mental Health Services provides free, short-term support to help students manage current concerns, build coping skills, and move forward with confidence.

Scope of Practice Statement

Lone Star College Mental Health Services (MHS) offers brief, accessible mental health support to help students navigate challenges affecting their well-being. We work collaboratively with campus stakeholders and community partners to support academic success and completion. When students present with concerns that require ongoing, specialized, or acute care, a referral to a community provider will be provided along with a warm handoff through case management.
