CBU provides support for all students dealing with mental illness. Mental illnesses are health conditions that disrupt a person’s thoughts, emotions, relationships and daily functioning.
CBU offers keep.me.SAFE, which provides 24/7 mental health services to all International Students. keep.meSAFE is an innovative Student Support Program (SSP) which helps students by promoting early intervention and 24/7 access to mental health support. The program helps students manage their mental health so they can fully participate in academic life and complete their studies.
keep.meSAFE is the first support program to use linguistically and culturally matched licensed clinicians, providing students a welcoming place where they are comfortable to seek help.
CBU also offers free and confidential services with Personal Counsellors. Appointments can be by phone or through email to discuss a variety of issues including anger, parenting, grief, depression and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, time management, stress, financial concerns and couples counselling.
