Enrolled degree students at ECU have access to a wealth of free programming and services. Here’s how to get started.

ECU’s Counselling team offers counselling services both in-person and by phone, Monday through Friday, 9AM to 4PM. These free, confidential appointments are available to all enrolled degree students.

In addition to personal counselling, a range of wellness programming is offered to students to reduce stress and promote and enhance students’ success and wellbeing along seven dimensions of wellness: emotional, psychological, physical, financial, environmental, cultural and social.

Below, the teams from Counselling and Student Wellness have assembled a brief introduction to their resources and programming, including how to get started and who to contact for further information.
