Indigenous counselling

Indigenous counselling offers a safe and caring place that honours Indigenous knowledge, experience and healing. The Indigenous Counsellor treats mental health and life issues from Indigenous perspectives to relate to the diverse cultural backgrounds of Indigenous students. Treatment may also address the long-lasting intergenerational effects of historical wrongdoings against Indigenous peoples.

We provide both individual and group counselling and discussions that treat the heart, body, mind and spirit. 

Indigenous counselling sessions are flexible in length. Students may access services for emergency appointments and in general, students may meet with the Indigenous Counsellor without having to wait too long.

Although the Indigenous Counsellor meets only with Indigenous students, you also have the option of meeting with a non-Indigenous counsellor, or you may choose instead to meet with an Elder in Residence for help and guidance.
