Student Assistance Program

MACC provides a Student Assistance Program (SAP) for our students through H&H Health Associates that provides help in countless areas. Below are some FAQ’s about the program that should answer most of your questions. Call 314-845-8302 to connect to H&H Health Associates.

If you have additional questions about the Student Assistance Program, call Michele McCall, Dean of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management at 660-263-4100 ext. 11215.

There is no charge for services provided within the Student Assistance Program. MACC has provided short-term counseling, research, consultation, and referral services for you, your family and your significant others. When necessary, you may be referred to services that go beyond the scope of this program. Charges for outside services are your responsibility. In some cases, however, your health insurance may cover a portion or complete cost of the services you require.

No individual information, including your name, can be released without your written consent. The only exceptions are those required by law such as the duty of counselors to warn someone of a serious threat or the mandated reporting of child and elder abuse.

In addition to the services currently provided directly by MACC Office of Student Affairs, MACC also offers a Student Assistance Program through H&H Health Associates. This program is a confidential service designed to help students and families with personal or student/life balance issues.

Accessing the service is easy. In-person counseling appointments can be scheduled or, if the need is urgent, our counselors are available to speak with you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year. The counselor will gather some information, evaluate your needs, and suggest a possible plan of action. All you have to do is make the first call.

The next step will depend on your unique situation. If you are calling about an emotional or family issue, the counselor will always suggest a face to face meeting. This will give you a private opportunity to talk about your concerns in depth. This meeting will take place at a convenient, private office off campus.

The program has a wide variety of professionals available to help you free yourself from personal worries. Locating day care resources, financial consultations, and legal assistance, are all examples of how the services can assist you with school/life balance issues. Additionally, Health Coaching services are also available to you and your loved ones on such issues as weight management, fitness, smoking cessation, and more.
