Counselling & Wellness Services

We have many services and resources in place to help you understand, manage and improve your mental health and wellness while at university. The best place to start is to check out our Wellness Services Navigator. This anonymous site is designed to help find you available mental health and wellness resources.

At Health and Counselling Services (HCS), counselling staff are available to help students with personal and emotional difficulties.

If you are in crisis and need urgent counselling support, call Counselling Services at 613-520-6674 (press 2) (available 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday) or come in person to the counselling clinic (2500 Carleton Technology and Training Centre Building) and indicate you are in crisis.

Members of the Carleton community who are concerned about a student can submit a Care Report to document their concern and solicit feedback and/or follow-up, if necessary. The Care and Support team in Wellness Services monitors Care Report submissions daily and will follow-up as appropriate. For more information, please visit the Wellness Website.
