This study explored the associations among first-generation, Mexican-American, community college students' mental health services, social capital, resiliency, and their levels of reported college satisfaction. One hundred and five self-identified first-generation, Mexican-American or Chicanx, or Latinx with Mexican origins community college students completed the online survey. Findings demonstrated that participants who reported having had counseling or mental health services (on-campus and/or off-campus) reported higher levels of college satisfaction. Additionally, those who reported higher levels of social capital had higher levels of college satisfaction on two of the three subscales (the Significant Other Support subscale and the Family Support subscale), but not on the Friends Support subscale. Lastly, participants who reported higher levels of resiliency also endorsed more college satisfaction. Implications for community college administrators and professors are addressed.
