Resources during local and global crises

If you’re experiencing a mental health emergency, contact emergency services.

For immediate and ongoing mental health support:

• Request a mental health appointment.
• If you are covered by the CSU or GSA health plans, access tele-counselling services in multiple languages.

If a crisis is affecting your ability to complete your coursework or attend class:

• The International Students Office understands the unique challenges of navigating life away from home and can provide support.

If a crisis affects your ability to cover essential expenses during your studies:
