Learn more about Counselling Services

In the midst of ongoing trauma, grieving, and anger, and also the growing protests both locally and abroad, we in Counselling Services stand on the side of justice, in solidarity with Black, Indigenous and People of Colour. As a department, we are committed to examining our own practices which may contribute to issues around systemic racism. We recognize these times can be distressing, and want to remind all members of the Langara community that we are here to help.
