The thoughts of the Brock University community are with all those affected by the ongoing violence taking place in Israel and Gaza.

Brock’s International team has been in touch directly with students and visiting scholars from the region to share our concern and provide resources and supports during this difficult time.

If you are feeling the impact of this situation, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the many supports available to you as a member of the Brock community.

Student supports include:

Personal Counselling: Aims to provide students with the support needed to address their concerns about their well-being.
