Mental Health Resources

Whatever it is you’re going through, I hope some of these resources can be a starting point of information.

*Disclaimer: Some of these I have compiled but I have not had experience with all of them. Furthermore, I am not a mental health professional and cannot provide advice to people in a mental health crisis or advise them on which specific resources are best suited to their needs. If you are in need of help or in an emergency, please call 911.

For counselling services at UBC, you have to go in to the front desk to book same day appointments. They’ll meet with you for 15-20 minutes to access the severity of the situation and help you with what you can do after or connect you with tailored resources.
