The Local Wellness Advisors (LWAs) are trained mental health clinicians embedded within university services, such as McGill Residences, and faculties to connect students with the appropriate support resources for their unique situations. Much like counsellors, LWAs explore with students how to support their mental health and wellbeing. The LWAs also act as mental health resources to the entire Residence Life team.
You can book one-on-one appointments with the LWA assigned to Residences through the online booking system or reach out to other LWAs from other faculties, or specific to community groups, as well as other clinicians at the Student Wellness Hub.
