Vassar College Counseling Service (VCCS) welcomes students of all backgrounds and experiences. We are here to support you. 

Vassar College Counseling Service recognizes the profound and ongoing harm that structural oppression causes, particularly for individuals with marginalized identities.

We believe when one person suffers, we all suffer. Thus, we aim to actively embody a position of non-discrimination and critically examine and address how oppression is perpetuated in our larger world, within the Counseling Service, and within the Vassar Community.

In solidarity and through action, we reaffirm our commitment to cultivating a society that is equitable, compassionate, and welcoming for all, both within our institution and beyond it.

With love and concern, we also offer self-care resources for our students.
