Student Counselling, Health & Well-being
Our Mission
Student Counselling, Health & Well-being (SCHW) is a student service department within the Division of Students at York University. SCHW’s dynamic team of health care professionals, peer health educators, and support staff collaborate to provide a range of health and well-being services that foster academic success, student development and an engaged community at York University.
The primary aim of SCHW is to support students in realizing and developing their personal potential and manage the demands of university life. Achieving the aim requires that SCHW provides a safe and supportive space in which all students at York have equitable access to services that support their success and well-being.
Eligibility for Service
You are eligible for services at SCHW if you are currently registered and enrolled in courses at the Keele Campus. Students who are currently registered or enrolled in courses at the Glendon campus are eligible for a range of counselling-related services at the Accessibility, Well-Being and Counselling (AWC) Centre.
How to Access Services
The online booking system opens every morning at 8:45 a.m. EST for same-day booking. Please check back in the system throughout the day, as spots may open due to cancellations. Student preferences regarding counsellor identities (e.g. BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, etc.) will be considered for ongoing counselling/short-term therapy.
