Personal Counselling and Resources

Professional Counsellors and Registered Psychologists provide a confidential atmosphere in which students can explore any topic or situation and discuss any concerns they may have. Students are helped to work through their problems, to develop self awareness, and to overcome problems by using new coping strategies.

Be sure to check upcoming workshops and visit our lending library.
