SSMT cares deeply about its students, and provides them with assistance throughout their training. All the administrators are on-site, and available whenever needed. The Education Department helps students with study skills, coping with test anxiety, time management, make-up scheduling, as well as offering outstanding student grievance support.
Learning massage therapy can create powerful opportunities for growth, especially when approached in the context of mindfulness. Students receive frequent massage and are often invited to explore the sources of tension in their lives. You may find you want assistance processing these experiences, and the Education administrators are skilled, accessible, and eager to help. You will find that administrators in other departments and faculty members are also happy to help in any way they can.
