LiveChat Support

Life can be stressful and overwhelming. Do you have brief questions for a mental health provider?

What is LiveChat?

LiveChat is a messaging tool to connect with Access Case Managers to ask about available services and supports. Please note: LiveChat is anonymous.

How does it work?

No appointment or registration process is required, simply log on from your browser during designated LiveChat hours and an Access Case Manager will respond within 5 to 10 minutes.

  • Check out Upcoming Session for any updated times or changes to the sessions.

Talk to an Access Case Manager and find out about specific services and supports, or ask how Health & Counselling can support you best - whether it's through regular counselling, groups, workshops or referrals.

Some examples of questions:

  • How can I get set up with counselling?
  • How do I book an appointment with a doctor?
  • How do I get a health care provider statement to withdraw from classes?

What can I talk about on LiveChat? 

LiveChat is to assist you with general questions related to mental health support, services, and resources. It is not intended for Crisis support or in-depth conversations.
