You are invited to visit the library for a confidential conversation in the privacy of one of the study rooms. Family members and friends of individuals who may be experiencing a mental health issue are also encouraged to drop by.
Upcoming Wednesday walk-in counselling sessions will be held on Dec. 4, Dec. 18, and Jan. 8, 2020, from 1 to 4 p.m. on all dates.
