Students in Distress Resources

We will be adding some additional helpful resources/content to this website in the Summer of 2023!

In case of emergency or crisis situation (imminent concern for harm to self or others) please call 911 and/or VIU Security at 250-740-6600 and/or consult with the Vancouver Island Crisis Line at 1-888-494-3888. 

If a student is in distress who requires an urgent appointment with Counselling (recent traumatic events, acute emotional distress), during business hours call VIU Counselling at 250-740-6416 to ask if an urgent appointment is available (first come, first serve).   

After hours, or any time, consult with the Vancouver Island Crisis Line at 1-888-494-3888.
