Student Counselling and Career Centre
Getting through university poses many difficult challenges. Many students experience stress due to the adjustments required by their studies and the multiple roles in their lives. Common issues students identify are feeling worried, anxious or depressed, having relationship problems or underachievement in their studies. Counselling is available for supportive or problem-solving assistance for academic, vocational, emotional, personal or social concerns. Counsellors help explore these issues and assist students to work toward achieving the goals they have set for themselves. Most students can benefit from seeing a counsellor at some point in their university experience.
We offer individual, couple or family counselling in individual and groups formats. Our professional staff have a variety of backgrounds including Clinical Psychology, Counselling Psychology, Educational Psychology, and Social Work.

The Student Counselling and Career Centre is staffed by professional counsellors whose primary goal is to facilitate the personal, social, academic, and vocational development of university students. To fulfil this role, the Student Counselling and Career Centre provides the following programs and services:
PERSONAL COUNSELLING - Counsellors are available to provide supportive and problem-solving assistance for emotional difficulties, interpersonal problems, or stressful life situations.
GROUP DEVELOPMENT - Group programs that provide support, develop skills, and aid in self-improvement in specialized areas are announced and offered throughout the year. Educational and informational programs are also part of the Student Counselling and Career Centre’s activities. There is a nominal registration fee for some group programs.
CAREER COUNSELLING - Career planning and counselling are available on an individual and group basis. Testing and assessment of interests, abilities, and personality are available as well. There is a nominal charge for testing services.
CAREER RESOURCE CENTRE - To complement the career planning process, the Career Resource Centre maintains information on more that 230 occupations, a selection of university and community college calendars and career-related resource books and materials. The CRC is organized on a self-help basis, but a resource person is available to assist you on a drop-in basis.
CAREER MENTOR PROGRAM - The Career Mentor Program provides an opportunity to meet with a professional working in a specific field. Most of our mentors are University of Manitoba alumni. The program involves exploring the world of work to gain a realistic view of a specific career.
REFERRAL AND CONSULTATION - In addition to providing direct service to students, counsellors are available to provide referral information and consultation service to other members of the university community.
TRAINING - The Student Counselling and Career Centre provides placements and supervision of students who are pursuing counselling as a profession. Therefore, during the regular academic session, students assist our professional staff in the provision of direct service to students.
Students are encouraged to call the Student Counselling and Career Centre or drop by the main office to inquire about programs and services. Students who have not seen a counsellor before may come during our drop-in times to see a counsellor for a short introductory interview. Students will then be directed to individual or group counselling, career services, or referred elsewhere.
