Student Support Network
After-Hours Assistance
The Student Support Network (SSN) peer-support drop-in is located at McNally House across the street from the Axelrod Building. A team of trained volunteers is ready to provide supportive listening for all members of the campus community.
The drop-in operates during the Fall and Winter semesters from 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm, Monday to Friday while classes are in session, and 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm during scheduled exam weeks. The SSN is closed during the Spring semester.
All volunteers are extensively trained in active listening and communication skills.
The Network operates primarily as a drop-in, but you can reach us by phone at: (519) 824-4120 Ext. 55002
Student Support Network Drop-In Provides:
- Confidential, non-judgemental listening & support
- Information and referrals
- An opportunity to chat one-on-one with peers who care
- Trained student volunteers who staff the service
If we can't help you, we know who can!
After-Hours Support Line
The After-hours Support Line is now integrated with Student Support Network Drop-in. This service operates during the same hours as drop-in.
