Mental Health & Well-Being Resources

Mental Health and Well-Being Resources

We acknowledge that in balancing graduate workloads, navigating world happenings and finding harmony between all outputs of your lives can often feel overwhelming. We want you to know that your experiences are valid and that you are not alone.

Acknowledging that reaching out for support may not always be easy, we have gathered a list of resources that we hope can be a starting point for you discovering supports that work best for your own well-being, mental health and situation. The below list is not exhaustive and welcome additional resources that our members may be aware of and think could also be of benefit to other members.

Personal Counselling & MySSP App

Personal counselling is available to all Brock graduate students 24/7. You can speak to a professionally trained counsellor in a confidential space, completely free.

  • For an appointment call 905-688-5550 x 6380 or visit ST400 on campus
  • For urgent 24/7 telephone counselling, call 1-833-BROCK33 (1-833-2762-533)

You can also download the MySSP app (provided free by Brock) and receive confidential 24/7 support via text or telephone with a professional counsellor. Support is available in English, French, Spanish, Mandarin and Cantonese (simplified Chinese via chat).

The app also offers an extensive library of mental health and well-being resources, including articles, podcasts, infographics and videos and unlimited free access to the virtual fitness app LIFT. The app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play. When creating a profile, be sure to enter ‘Brock University Student Counselling Program’ as the school.
