The exam period can be a particularly stressful time of year. If you are struggling, it can be helpful to talk to someone who understands what you're going through.
UW MATES (Mentor Assistance Through Education and Support) is a counselling-based, one-to-one peer support program offering drop-in peer support counselling to all students in the Dana Porter and Davis Centre libraries during the spring term exam period. Sessions are free of charge and confidential.
UW MATES volunteers are under professional supervision by clinical psychologists from Counselling Services and have extensive training to help you with:
- stress and anxiety
- academic issues
- social and relationship difficulties
- mental health challenges
- transitional challenges to university life
- challenges in adapting to culture
