Student Wellness and Accessibility

We understand that being in college can be an exciting time, but that it can also be accompanied with stressful times. Meeting with a friendly and professional counsellor with whatever may be challenging or troubling, can make a difference.

Some common areas of concern addressed in counselling are; stress management, grief/loss, sexuality, substance use, and much more.
