Mental Health Services

If you’re looking for mental health support:

  • UM’s Student Counselling Centre (SCC) offers individual counselling, workshops and groups, depending on your level of need.  The SCC continues to operate, albeit with reduced capacity because some of their staff are participating in the UMFA strike. Individual counselling appointments continue to be offered by staff who are working and intake appointments for new clients are also available. Some groups and workshops also remain available to students. Most SCC services are currently virtual and all are confidential and free for students to access. Call 204-474-8592 to connect.
  • Student Services at Bannatyne Campus(SSBC) offers free, private, and confidential services if you are a student or resident of the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences. Services include individual counselling and mental health supports and referrals as needed. Call 272-3190 or email BCSS [at] umanitoba [dot] ca to make an appointment.

These are just a small sample of the resources available to you, at UM and in the community. You can also be connected with the Rainbow Resource Centre, Women’s Health Clinic, Men’s Resource Centre, support for problematic drug use, and many more resources, through the SCC.
