Between December 15 and February 28, 2026, there may be significant delays in our response to disclosures submitted through the Advocate system.
During this period, individuals may experience a wait of up to 10-15 business days before a member of our team is able to reach out to schedule an initial consultation. If you need immediate or ongoing mental health support, we encourage you to connect with Campus Employee Health and Counselling Services or other available support resources.
Please know that every disclosure matters to us, and our team will be in touch as soon as we are able.
