Wellness and Counselling

At NBCC, your wellbeing is priority.  We understand that your college experience is more than just academics – it’s a time of growth, discovery and sometimes, challenges.  That’s why we’ve developed supports designed to help you thrive both in and out of the classroom.   From student activities (such as wellness fairs, animal visits), mental health, academic supports to help preparing for the job market, we offer workshops, wellness activities, and access to online resources to ensure you have the tools you need to thrive.

Your NBCC Counsellors

Sexual Violence Resources and Support

NBCC students have access to Sexual Violence Support Advocates Hilary Swan and Megen Gaudet who, together, offer support to survivors of sexual violence. This goes beyond providing resources and allows survivors to develop a personal connection with someone and find a safe place to feel heard, believed, and validated while they work to explore options available to survivors.
