Professional support to help you thrive

At LaSalle College, we understand that academic success also depends on mental, emotional, and social well-being. In response to the growing mental health challenges faced by students, our Psychosocial Services offer confidential, accessible, and free support to help you navigate personal and academic difficulties.

Our psychosocial support team’s mission is to promote the mental health and well-being of LaSalle College students by providing accessible, inclusive, and evidence-based services. We aim to help students flourish academically, socially, and emotionally by addressing challenges with empathy, collaboration, and respect.

Wellness Days

Our psychosocial support team also organizes monthly Wellness Days. These events, often built around original and timely themes, aim to reduce stigma and raise awareness about mental health.
