Uvic is big on mental health and provides students with many resources for their well-being. The Support Connect helpline is available 24/7 to support students in need. Someone will pick up your call and you can chat with them through call/zoom. Counselling services are available but it’s incredibly hard to get an appointment. Sometimes the waiting period can be as long as 2 months. I recommend looking for help off-campus if you’re looking for long-term therapy. Other than that most profs are understanding and are flexible with extensions if you need extra time. When times are too stressful, the Pet Café is a popular choice. You can chill with puppies and dogs and enjoy snacks to calm your mind.
