Counselling
Having a problem you can't talk about can make you feel very upset and alone. Speaking to an experienced counsellor can make a big difference.

Macquarie Community College Blacktown provides a free counselling service through Mission Australia to help students enrolled in the AMEP.

Counselling is when you discuss the problems in your life with a trained professional. You can talk confidentially about difficulties with a trained person who will listen and care, get clear in your own mind what your problems really are, work out what you can do about your problem, and get information on who can help.

Counselling is for people of all ages, from all countries, and with many kinds of problems. Counsellors can help you with problems like the following.

• Immigration and settlement difficulties
• English classes and learning
• Recognition of overseas qualifications
• Training and education queries
• Employment matters
• Emotional stress and worries about the future
• Marriage and relationships
• interpersonal conflicts
• Alcohol and other drugs
• Gambling worries

• Grief and loss
• Financial or legal worries

Counsellors are people you can trust. No matter what your problem is, you will be listened to and your moral, religious, and cultural views will be respected. The counselling service is confidential. The information you tell the counsellor will remain private.

This is a free service. To make an appointment for counselling, just ask your teacher or the administration staff at Macquarie Community College Blacktown.

The AMEP counselling service is provided by Mission Australia Counselling Services.
