    Mental Health Support

    Starting back to school can be a lot for some students. At ACM, we offer free comprehensive mental health services via holistic network.

     

    Students should also look for the Koala on staff and faculty office doors - those who have Koalas posted are trained in Mental Health First Aid.

    Parent Testimonial 

    My daughter is a junior in high school and has decided to pursue a career in dental hygiene. We chose to visit ACM for an Open House to see if she liked it. Since we live four hours away, we planned to stay overnight, so we came a day early for her to sit in on a class - and to experience the greater Cumberland culture, too. 

     

    At Allegany College, our daughter had a fully-personalized experience. She got to be a student and meet current students and faculty. She toured housing and ate at the dining facility, ACM Café. She spoke at length with the soccer and softball coaches and Athletics Department about what a student-athlete’s experience would be.

     

    Even the President of ACM met her in the hall and talked, unhurried, personally. An hour later, he himself introduced her to other staff with personal details that he remembered about her!

     

    From the Recruitment team to the Dental Hygiene faculty to the coaches to the president, our daughter is already known by name and expected to arrive on campus in a year. As parents, we’re thrilled for our daughter to have that kind of support when she leaves our nest.

     

    Thank you for all the individual conversations that we got to have. God bless ACM!
