Student Wellness and Equitable Learning is excited to share the following 2025-2026 mental health support offerings available to all learners. Guided by student and faculty feedback and aligned with Humber’s Well-being Strategy to boost the diversity of mental health supports and resources, these offerings are designed to expand the diversity, accessibility, and impact of mental health resources on our campuses.
After-Hours Mental Health Support (in partnership with CMHA Toronto)
We are pleased to continue our partnership with the Canadian Mental Health Association Toronto (CMHATO) to provide free walk-in and evening mental health support on campus. Starting September 15, 2025, CMHA clinicians will be available Monday to Friday, 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at both the North (LRC Building, Room 3005) and Lakeshore (L Building, Room L1017) campuses. This service ensures learners have timely access to care outside of traditional business hours.
Togetherall - Online Mental Health Community
Humber Polytechnic has partnered with Togetherall to provide learners with free, 24/7 online mental health and wellbeing support. Togetherall is an anonymous peer-to-peer platform where learners can connect, share, and receive support anytime. The community is monitored by licensed and registered mental health professionals (“Wall Guides”) to ensure safety and confidentiality. Togetherall will open to our students on September 15, 2025.
Student Wellness & Accessibility Centre (SWAC)
The Student Wellness & Accessibility Centre (SWAC) is here to support all learners looking for mental health support, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Learners have access to a wide range of supports, including:
- One-to-one mental health support with licensed mental health professionals
- Group-based programs and peer-led wellness workshops
- Psychiatry
- Primary care
- Dietitian Supports
Updated Distress Protocol
Last year, our Mental Health Team strengthened the SWAC Distress Protocol to better support our community. If you are concerned about a learner’s mental health, please reach out to CNS@humber.ca. A mental health professional can follow-up with the learner to conduct a telephone wellness check, provide mental health support, and link them to the most appropriate resources.
Important: This service is not intended for urgent or time-sensitive concerns. Our team responds typically within 48 business hours. For immediate safety concerns or emergencies, please contact emergency services.
In alignment with Stepped Care 2.0, these offerings provide meaningful options for learners navigating diverse challenges, while reducing barriers to care. They also strengthen connections between Humber and community-based resources, ensuring our learners are supported both on and off campus - and beyond their time at Humber.
Attached to this communication are flyers that can be distributed widely across departments and classrooms. For further information or questions, please feel free to connect with Gabriela Yepez at gabriela.yepez@humber.ca.
