Student counselling, health & well-being is here for you
Hello from Student Counselling, Health & Well-being<about:blank> (SCHW)! We are a department in the Division of Students that supports the mental health and well-being of students at York University.
We wanted to take a moment to let you know about the FREE services and supports we offer.
Peer-led Workshops
Our team of peer health educators host workshops on a variety of well-being topics including Mental Health 101, Nutrition Basics, Sleep for Better Grades, Healthier Coping Strategies, Self-Care, and much more. To see what is offered and to sign-up for a workshop, take a look here: https://counselling.students.yorku.ca/workshops<about:blank>
Individual Counselling
SCHW offers same-day and appointment-based counselling in a safe and non-judgemental space. University life can be challenging, and our team of counsellors are here to help you feel heard and understood. Simply book online for our walk-in services here. The online booking system opens every morning at 8:45 a.m. EST for same-day booking. Please check back in the system throughout the day. Spots may open as other students cancel. Student preferences regarding counsellor identities (e.g. BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, etc.) will be considered for ongoing counselling/short-term therapy. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us, our services are confidential and no problem is too small. We are here for you!
Group Support
Some students may prefer to meet with peers for encouragement and support rather than – or in addition to – meeting with a counsellor one-to-one. If group support is something that interests you, you’re in luck! SCHW will be offering the following groups (all of which are facilitated or co-facilitated by counsellors) during 2022:
* LGBTQ2S+ Support Group
* A bi-weekly support group open to York’s LGBTQ2S+ students, hosted by SCHW counsellors who identify as part of the LGBTQ2S+ community.
* Process Group
* A weekly group led by a SCHW counsellor with a variety of discussion topics that change each session based on student needs. Sessions are held on Mondays and Tuesdays.
* Racialized Students Support Group
* A monthly group hosted by racialized counsellors that provides a safe space for BIPOC students to reflect on their identities and experiences.
* Support Group for Survivors of Sexual Violence
* A weekly support group for survivors of sexual violence co-facilitated with The Centre for Sexual Violence Response, Support & Education.
* Gay Men’s Process Group
* A weekly group committed to discussing issues related to the gay men and/or queer men community.
* Grief & Loss Support Group
* A safe and secure group where participants can process grief and find validation in a space focused on providing hope and support. Entry into this group is offered through referral from SCHW counsellors during individual appointments.
* Monthly Trans and Non-binary Support Group
* A group facilitated by a trans-masculine social worker who specializes in supporting trans and non-binary folx wishing to navigate gender.
To learn more about each group and/or how to connect, please visit:
https://counselling.students.yorku.ca/group-counselling-schw<about:blank>

We will be giving out licences every month, so add your name here<about:blank>.

keep.meSAFE by guard.me
