Psychological Service Centre
by Kenny So 10 Sep '19

10 Sep '19

Hi Everyone, I was glad to see so many new and familiar faces today at the PSGSA Elections. I was going to mention this at the meeting, however I believe this message is more efficiently communicated by email. A service at the U of M that I became aware of earlier this year is the Psychological Service Centre. The Psychological Service Centre is a training clinic for Clinical Psychology Graduate Students enrolled at the University of Manitoba. All services are provided at no charge. This is something that I started going to a few months ago to address symptoms of anxiety disorder. It is easily one of the best things I have ever done. I believe that taking care of yourself, and your mental health should be everyone’s number one priority. Below are links for more information, or to download the referral form (which I believe needs to be submitted in person). If you have any questions about the program please reach out to them; however, if you feel comfortable speaking to me about it I am more then happy to share my experience so far. Information: http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/arts/departments/psych_services/psc/index.html To apply / join the wait list: https://umanitoba.ca/faculties/arts/departments/psych_services/public/3111.… Best, Nate Nathaniel Ort Graduate Student (M.Sc) Department of Plant Science 222 Agriculture Building – 66 Dafoe Road University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2, Canada The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
