The Scraper Counseling Center
The Scraper Counseling Center serves dual purposes as a training site for future counseling professionals and to support MACU students in a compassionate, supportive, confidential Christian environment. Upholding all state and federal regulations, the Center will act as a safe haven for health, wellness, and rehabilitation to restore one’s mental well-being. The interns and staff will act as a guide to move clients toward healing and making empowered decisions. The staff will highlight the client’s God-given strengths through trained guidance and find creative ways to utilize these gifts to help the client to be empowered working toward restoration and healing.
If you are in crisis or experiencing a life-threatening emergency, such as uncontrollable feelings or thoughts about hurting yourself or others, call 911 or go to your local hospital emergency room.
