Mental Health Directory
The University of Toronto Students’ Union is committed to providing health and wellness resources for members of our community. We have compiled a directory of mental health resources available on campus and in Toronto.
As a student at the University of Toronto, you’re covered by extended health insurance. The Health and Dental plan can reimburse members for a portion of their visits to a mental health practitioner. Visit Health and Dental to learn what services are covered or to get started.
