The videos and resources from the sold-out "Recognize, Render and Redirect: Supporting Faculty to Support Students with Mental Health Challenges" panel are now available. The panel was designed to better equip faculty members with the tools they need to support student mental health.

Coming soon — Mental Health Student Support Program
SFU, with support from the Simon Fraser Student Society (SFSS), is bringing the keep.meSAFE Student Support Program (SSP) to SFU students as a two-year pilot. Starting Aug 1, 2018 all SFU students will have access to 24/7 mental health and acculturation support through the use of technology – with in-person options also available. This program will complement existing mental health and well-being support and initiatives at SFU and will be integrated with relevant SFU services and supports. Information as well as education opportunities for faculty/ staff about the program, including how to refer students, will be made available to all departments starting in August and continuing into the Fall term.
