A pilot project for treating students with acute mental health issues through UVic Health Services has significantly reduced wait times, allowing at-risk students to get the help
they need more quickly.
"There's a concept in Nuu-chah-nulth culture called hishuk ish tsawalk," says Marcena Wika Louie, one of the first cohort of the Indigenous Communities Counselling Psychology
(ICCP) program graduating in November. "It means everything is connected, everything is one. That's the basis of my holistic approach to counselling."
