The Department of Counseling and Health at Notre Dame University-Louaize (NDU) is committed to the physical and emotional wellbeing of our students. Through the University Counseling Services and the Medical House, we offer confidential, professional, and accessible care for all enrolled students.

All services are delivered with professionalism, respect, and absolute confidentiality, and are available to all currently enrolled students.
