Health & Counselling
Health & Counselling
Our clinics and care providers serve all ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV students at all campuses with appointments and programs running in-person, virtually or by phone. Services are no cost to ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV students.
Health and Counselling offers student health clinics on the Burnaby and Vancouver campuses. Surrey Campus offers counselling services only. We provide support through individual sessions, group activities, and self-guided resources. All ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV students can access these free services in person, online, or by phone.
As of January 6, 2025, masks are required in all healthcare settings due to an increase in seasonal respiratory infections. You must wear a medical-grade mask at all times in our clinics. Please sanitize your hands and take a mask when you enter our office.
We are currently operating at reduced capacity while we transition to a new electronic health record system. As a result, response times and medical appointment bookings may be delayed. For alternative options, please visit .

Urgent Support
If you're feeling overwhelmed and need support, or if you are supporting a friend or student in crisis, there are options.
Medical Services
Doctors and nurses are available by appointment. Seeing a doctor on campus is helpful for students far from home, without a family doctor, or commuting within Metro Vancouver.
Counselling Services and Individual Support
Our clinical counsellors and registered psychologists, including their professional student trainees, offer free, confidential, and limited-time counselling support to all ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV and FIC students.
Group Support
Group counselling and support workshops provide spaces for students to connect with others who share similar experiences and challenges.
