Accessibilty Services
Students whose success at college may be affected by a disability must contact the Centre for Access upon admittance to
the College. Many Students do not even realize that they have a disability and therefore they never identify themselves
in order to benefit from the services we can offer.

On-call counsellors are available Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. for students who are in crisis or who are dealing with time-sensitive issues.

First Year Experience / First Generation Services
Each new year, college students face any number of questions, common issues or obstacles.
First Generation students are the first in their family to attend college or university, and may have unique needs and experiences.
If your parents or guardians did not attend college or university,
they might not be familiar with how to help you with some of those challenges.
That's where we come in – we can support you in the transition to college and throughout your program. Find out more at First Year Experience or First Generation

The Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC), in collaboration with the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention, the Centre for Suicide Prevention, and the Public Health Agency of Canada has developed 2 toolkits to support people who have been impacted by suicide. One toolkit is tailored for people who have attempted suicide , and the other is focused on resources for people who have lost someone to suicide . The MHCC wishes to thank the Advisory Committee comprised of people with lived experience related to suicide for their assistance in making these toolkits possible.
In the summer of 2017, the MHCC conducted an online survey to elicit feedback from people who have been affected by suicide. With over a thousand responses, the survey helped gain a better understanding of what topics, content areas, resources, and information were important to include in the toolkits.

Language
Many respondents indicated a preference for “people-first” language as opposed to “survivorship language”. For this reason, “people-first” language is used in the toolkit. That said, many of the resources linked from the toolkits use “survivorship” language.
Please note that the toolkits are not intended to replace a conversation and are not designed to be an exhaustive list of the wide variety of resources available across Canada for support. If you or someone you know is experiencing distressing thoughts or thoughts of suicide, please contact your local distress centre or Kids Help Phone .
