College doesn’t always happen between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. — and neither does stress. Starting this fall, more ACC students have access to TimelyCare, a virtual mental health resource that makes it easier to connect with support when you need it.

Whether you want to talk with someone right away, schedule a counseling appointment around your classes and work schedule, or explore mental health resources on your own, TimelyCare offers several ways to get support — totally free!

What does TimelyCare offer?

TimelyCare features graphic highlighting four mental health and wellness resources: TalkNow for 24/7 live support with a mental health professional; Scheduled Counseling for virtual counseling appointments, with up to six visits; Support Modules with on-demand mental health and wellness resources; and a Video Library with educational videos and self-guided strategies.

TimelyCare is available to ACC Credit, Community Education, and College Readiness students age 18 and older. Dual credit and other high school students are currently not eligible for the service.
