Personal and Supportive Counselling

Counselling is available to help you deal with personal concerns that may be affecting your studies or personal well-being. We’ll work with you to explore what’s happening in your life and help you identify strategies to help.

Many students meet with a counsellor to discuss topics such as:

• Stress management
• Interpersonal relationships
• Communication skills
• Building self esteem
• Adjustment to college
• Developing assertiveness skills
• Anger management
• Relationship break up
• Dealing with depression
• Coping with grief and loss
• Managing anxiety
• Managing a crisis
• Family difficulties
• Questioning your sexuality

If more specialized or long-term therapy is a better fit for you, we can help you connect with community resources.

Crisis Counselling

Student Counselling Services makes every effort to support and assist students who are experiencing a personal crisis. We understand that emergencies requiring immediate attention can arise suddenly for students. Most of the time, a counsellor at RRC Polytech can meet with you on the same day when not being seen could lead to serious consequences or seriously aggravate your existing condition.

Some examples of a crisis situation are:

• Suicidal thoughts
• Thoughts about harming another person
• Recent assault or abuse
• Concerns about your own safety or the safety of someone else
• Hallucinations or delusions
• Recent death of a love one
• Witness or experience of a traumatic event

If you believe your situation is a crisis that cannot wait for a regularly scheduled appointment, please come to one of our locations.

Notre Dame Campus – D102
Roblin Centre – P210
