Mental Health Service
Welcome to the Mental Health Services Clinic.
The focus at our service is to enable you to achieve psychological well-being and academic success. We provide a secure, non-judgmental and confidential space in which to pursue your mental health treatment. Our clinic consists of a team of psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists whom are all available by appointment. Please note that for an appointment with a psychiatrist, you will first need a referral by a physician.
We will no longer be charging the $20.00 and/or $100.00 registration fee to access our services. Those who have already paid the fee will be contacted shortly regarding their refund. Thank you for your patience.
The clinic can be used by all registered McGill students who have paid the Student Services fee. This fee is automatically charged on the account of all students except Post-docs and those registered in Continuing Studies. In order to use the clinic, these two groups must present proof that they have paid the fee. The clinic can not be used by Blue Cross dependents, McGill staff or research trainees.
