Student feedback from the 2022 Student Perception of Mental Health Care Survey has resulted in many improvements across all three campus health centres.  

Here are examples of the improvements to mental health services on campus that have resulted from the findings of 2022 Student Perception of Mental Health Care Survey:   

• Communication about the availability and experience of counselling staff is improving. Health centre website updates are in process, with counsellor bios and pictures being added; outreach at campus events by counsellors has increased their visibility with students. 

• Stabilized front desk staffing has resulted in better response times to phone queues, including during peak demand periods.  

• More in-person counselling appointments are now available to students and schedules have improved to ensure in-person coverage during times of peak service demand.   

• Treatment groups, partnerships with external providers and student-led committees are being created to better address the needs of 2SLGBTQIA+ students. Communication and outreach about gender affirming care has improved.
