Counselling Services
Welcome to Trent Counselling Services!
TCS staff are currently providing counselling sessions from remote locations, either by confidential video or phone. It is a provincial requirement that you be currently residing in Ontario to access counselling services, however there are many other supports that students can access. We are still here for you!
In addition to daily life and school stresses, the COVID-19 virus is having a profound impact on the world. As a society, we are being bombarded daily with news reports, which are troubling, confusing and distressing. It is understandably generating heightened stress and anxiety as individuals worry about their health, their jobs, school and/or the safety of friends and family members.
If you are experiencing any symptoms of anxiety, depression, loneliness or any other unwanted feelings or sensations, know that you are not alone.
Thank you for your patience as we work to continue providing service remotely.
Trent Durham students can connect with Counselling Services here.
