Brief Counselling services are part of Seneca Polytechnic’s Stepped Care Approach -providing more traditional, ongoing support for students who require a deeper, sustained level of care. This service involves one-on-one sessions with a designated counsellor who works with the student over time, typically scheduling follow-ups every 2-3 weeks depending on the student’s needs. The focus is on exploring the underlying causes of challenges, developing coping strategies, and offering professional guidance to support long-term well-being.
Student Wellbeing Specialists are advocates and case managers who provide students with a holistic support system. They act as critical navigators within the post-secondary environment, helping students access a wide range of mental health services both within Seneca and in the broader community. Student Wellbeing Specialists offer urgent support, drop-in access, and serve as a pathway to connect students with services tailored to their needs. They also collaborate with faculty and staff to ensure students receive appropriate considerations and support.
