Update for April 2023-2024
Unfortunately, our waitlist is now closed and we are full for the summer of 2023.
SFU SCC will be closing August 2023 and reopening with clinical services in August /September of 2024. Clinical service will be temporarily unavailable for the following year.
Staff will be on site weekly through to the end of July 2023, assisting with resourcing for other services.

We do not provide counselling to SFU students. For current SFU students, please visit SFU Health.
