Our services

If you're visiting the Zen Dens, you might see one of our Peer Wellness Ambassadors. Say hi if you like — no worries if you’d rather just relax quietly.

Wellness Ambassadors offer active listening and peer support. They can help you talk through an issue, or provide more resources on campus and beyond.

Peer Wellness Ambassadors are trained students, not psychologists or professional counsellors. They will not provide advice or personal opinions. You know your situation best. A Wellness Ambassador will help you explore what you would like to do and suggest potential resources that may be of help.

Questions? Contact cuwellness@concordia.ca

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please consult our emergency resources which are specifically equipped for immediate support and crisis response.

Peer support hours

Peer support hours will resume in the week of October 19, 2026. In the meantime, the Zen Dens remain open for students to unwind and recharge.
