Hello,
I wanted to speak to someone about pursuing help with my mental health and testing. I saw you guys 2 years ago to speak about it since it was messing up my schooling. I just got back in this fall and I’m starting to feel similar to the way I felt then. I finally have a support system at home to encourage me to commit to my appointments and seek help and whatever treatments I may need. I’m just not sure of my options or procedures from here. If I could book an appointment or something. That would be great. Thank you for your time.

Welcome back to MRU and Student Counselling Services! I’m glad to hear you are back and that you have support at home. We would be happy to become part of your support team. You can just call us to book an appointment (403 440-6362), but we also have drop-ins every day. Just show up in the morning (we open at 8:30) and you can claim one of the drop-in times that day.  Once a counsellor gets an idea of your struggles, strengths, and goals, you can decide together on what is the best way to move forward.

One exciting thing (exciting for us because it is new) is that we are creating Success Teams. We match up students on the basis of their schedule and then arrange small group meetings with a counsellor. The whole group supports members to reach what ever goal they identify is important to them. Just let the front desk know if you are interested and we will put your name on the list. When we have enough students, we’ll try to arrange a time.

All the best!

Mirjam Knapik
