Help and support

SFU offers a wide variety of help and support for students, faculty and staff that considers the diversity and multiple identit(ies) of our community’s backgrounds and lived experiences. We recognize the correlation between past/historical violence and trauma on present psychological health, safety and wellbeing and work to continually learn and embed practices that safeguard against further re-traumatization and/or violence. For the university and our support teams, we aim to provide a heterogenous approach to assisting members of our community and work to create the conditions that allow members of our community to feel cared for and confident that they are supported by SFU.
