Health & Counselling Services for Students Attending Lakehead Campus

(807) 343-8361

The team of medical, nursing, and counselling professionals at the Student Health & Counselling Centre can support your physical and mental health needs while at University.  All services are confidential.  We encourage you to call or visit the Centre if you need to see a physician or counsellor or are just unsure where and how to access health care in our community.

If you have a concern such as a sore throat/cough, urinary tract infection, depression or diabetes, or you require birth control information/prescriptions or STI testing - book an appointment with a physician in one of the Centre's medical clinics.  Like your family doctor's office, the clinics use provincial (i.e. OHIP) or international health plans for most visits.

The Centre offers free counselling services that can address stressors you may face as you adjust to university life.  These stressors can range from minor workload stressors, to family and relationship concerns, to complex mental health issues.  Everyone is encouraged to talk to someone sooner rather than later.

Throughout the academic year, the Centre also offer health education events.  All students are invited to attend or access information.  If you are unable to attend, please visit the Centre website for health information, resources and services.
