PERSONAL Counseling

Personal problems can interfere with your education and employment. Don't suffer alone -- tell your MATC program counselor what's going on with you. And please visit the Counseling Office in Room S209 at the Downtown Milwaukee Campus or a counselor in the Student Services office at the Mequon, Oak Creek or West Allis campus. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 7:45 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Fridays from 7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.

Student Assistance Center
Personal problems can cause academic difficulties. The Student Assistance Center offers support during times of crisis with brief, solution-focused interventions as well as referrals to community resources. Services are available during normal working hours when MATC is in session through each campus's Counseling and Student Services departments. Students are seen on a walk-in basis, or they may contact program counselors at each district campus. The Milwaukee Campus has a dedicated phone line: 414-297-6675. The Student Assistance Office is located in Room S209.
Note: The center does not provide therapy or long-term counseling.

certified prevention professional, who provides services and resources to help advance a healthier lifestyle. This office specializes in education and referral for alcohol, tobacco,
and drug issues. All services are free and confidential for MATC students. The office is
