In your role at Humber/University of Guelph-Humber, have you encountered students who are struggling with:
- Mental health concerns
- Housing instability
- Financial challenges
- Food insecurity
- Violence (domestic violence, sexual violence, etc.)
- Recently impacted by a tragic circumstance...
...and whose well-being and academic success are being impacted as a result? Did you know that they can seek ongoing support from the Student Support and Intervention Coordinators (SSICs) on campus?
SSICs work with students and offer ongoing support, guidance, and advocacy by connecting them with supports and services on campus and within the community. They work with students in accessing supports, navigating resources, and various policies and procedures at the College. Their goal is to support a student's overall well-being and academic success.
SSICs also receive disclosures of sexual violence. Through a trauma informed, survivor centric, anti-oppressive lens, they inform survivors on wellness supports, reporting options, mental health supports, etc. Their goal is to ensure survivors feel supported, so that they can focus on their wellness and recovery while remaining successful in their academic pursuits.
If you’ve come across a potentially concerning situation and would benefit from some guidance, please reach out to the team at SICsupport@humber.ca.
The SSICs are also available to present more info to your team on how to support students in complex situations. Please send any requests via email at SICsupport@humber.ca.
