Services

The Student Wellness Centre offers urgent and non-urgent physical and mental health care to University of Saskatchewan (USask) students, their spouses and children, and is currently offering online and over the phone services. If you would like to speak with a trained mental health professional, please email student.wellness@usask.ca.

Mental Health First Aid Training

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the help provided to a person developing a mental health problem, experiencing the worsening of an existing mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. Just like physical first aid is provided until medical treatment can be obtained, MHFA is given until appropriate support is found or until the crisis is resolved. You will learn to recognize a change in behaviour, respond with a confident conversation, and guide to appropriate resources and support. 

Please check the Mental Health First Aid course page for course information.

Resources

Access and Equity Services is guided by Saskatchewan's Human Rights legislation and the duty to accomodate individuals based on disability, religion, family status, and gender identity.

The faith leaders at USask are a multi-faith religious resource to all students, staff, and faculty.

Students who are dedicated to promoting health and student well-being on the USask campus.

A team of social workers responsible for mental health intake, student outreach, crisis response, psycho-educational groups, and consultation to faculty, staff, and students who are concerned about a student.

The USask community has consistently voiced the belief that no form of sexual violence is ever acceptable and that sexual violence will not be tolerated.

Still, we know there is work to be done to ensure we all know how to address and reduce incidents of sexual violence. Sexual violence prevention and response may not be something that everyone immediately knows how to do, but it is something that we can learn.

The university has launched its sexual violence prevention and response online learning modules which contain information about sexual violence, consent, bystander intervention, and responding to disclosures of sexual violence.

Getting Help

SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY if at any time you or someone you know is in distress, in crisis, or experiencing thoughts of suicide or death.
The Student Affairs and Outreach team provides a coordinated response to crisis situations involving a student. A crisis may be caused by events such as a physical or emotional injury or illness, suicidal behaviours, and concerns about safety.
