More mental health services are available for students on the UNB Saint John campus.
“We are very happy to announce this new partnership with UNB Saint John,” said Heather Maughan, executive director of Family Plus Life Solutions.
“As an organization, we have always been here and ready to help, but now these students will be more aware of the easily accessible options available to support their mental health both on- and off-campus.”
Family Plus Life Solutions has signed a memorandum of understanding with the campus to allow for more intense psychotherapy beyond what is currently available.
“We know how important having access to appropriate mental health support is to our students, now more so than ever,” said Sheldon MacLeod, director of student services on the Saint John campus.
“UNB Saint John is committed to ensuring our students have the resources they need to manage their mental health and we’re proud to be able to keep expanding our services to support our students.”
The not-for-profit charitable organization will offer prices that work more for a student budget.
The release follows the announcement of a confidential, virtual advice platform from Real Campus.
The platform offers professional support in all areas of university life and mental health, 24/7, at no additional cost for UNB Saint John students.
Family Plus is an organization based in Saint John that provides professional counselling, education and advocacy for children, adults and families in the area.
