Counselling Services
The counsellors at Selkirk College are professionals trained to provide a variety of counselling services. Appointments and short drop-in sessions are available at all campuses. All services are free and confidential.
Students may opt to see a counsellor for a variety of concerns regarding career and educational planning, and personal issues. The counsellor's role is to assist students to gather information, make plans and decisions, put plans and decisions into action, generate options, cope with crisis, and understand themselves and others. Short-term personal counselling is available for students at all main campuses. When appropriate, referrals are made to community agencies and services. Students in crisis or emergency situations are encouraged to contact counselling services for assistance.
