Counselling and Care
WE’VE MOVED!
Find our new Mental Health & Counselling office in the S-Wing Annex building outside the S-Wing corridor towards the Cultural Centre.
We're Here to Support You
As a student at MHC, you have access to a variety of resources on-campus to support your mental health throughout your studies. Services available to students include one-on-one and group counselling, wellness workshops and training.
NOTE: If you are in distress outside of college hours please call the distress centre at 1.403.266.HELP (4357), or access one of the resources below. If it is an emergency, please call 911.
If you know a student that is experiencing personal difficulties, mental health issues, or is struggling academically, we encourage you to notify the Student at Risk Support (SARS) team. This team of professionals responds to concerns around mental and physical well-being, security and academic issues, and can help students find the appropriate supports on campus.
This is not an emergency service. In case of emergency, please call 911.
If you're looking for someone to speak to about your spirituality, MHC's multi-denominational chaplain is here to help support students, staff and faculty.
Visit a group event in the Interfaith Centre or schedule a one-on-one appointment with Chaplain George.
