Ontario Tech University provides support and assistance for students experiencing academic challenges caused by personal, physical or emotional difficulties by offering a range of short-term counselling and therapy services to students using a 'Stepped Care' model. Students in crisis will also be provided support and counselling as needed through appropriate referrals to the community. There is no charge for these services. Learn more about the Stepped Care model.
Ontario Tech University also works in partnership with the community or with the student's home community to refer to appropriate resources when there is a need for specialized mental health services or longer-term counselling support.
