TELUS Health Update

TELUS Health (formerly called My Student Support Program or mySSP) will no longer be an option for 24/7 mental health support as of April 1st, 2024 due to the end of funding for this pilot mental health service.

Moving forward we encourage you to utilize the following 24/7 crisis resources or visit SHAC’s Emergency & Crisis webpage for a comprehensive list of culturally specific crisis service options.

Don't give up. You are not alone. YOU matter.
