Carrington College Announces New Support Program for Students
A strong support system has numerous psychological and emotional benefits, from increased self-esteem to lowered blood pressure. Support systems can help students alleviate mental distress and increase their ability to cope with stressful situations. Simply having access to a strong support system has an impact on your overall health, but when you’re on the path to earning your degree, your ability to cope with stress and keep yourself healthy is more important than ever. That is why Carrington College is proud to announce the new ACI Specialty Benefits program.
