TELUS Health Student Support

TELUS is an innovative mental health program that will provide 24/7 mental health and well-being support, free for students.

UNC is proud to launch the TELUS Health Student Support app, coming August 1! 

TELUS Health Student Support will provide students with 24/7 mental health and well-being support. This program is available at no cost to students. It complements UNC’s on-campus Counseling Center and other mental health resources 

As part of TELUS, students will be able to: 

  • Access crisis services via phone or text 24/7 from Master’s-level clinicians in English, Spanish, French, Mandarin and Cantonese.   
  • Access short-term scheduled counseling sessions via phone or video.  
  • Connect with other students across the country via TELUS’ online platform to give and receive support from peers. The hub is monitored for safety concerns by a mental health professional.   

TELUS counselors can support students with: 

  • Adapting to new cultures;  
  • Being successful in school;  
  • Navigating relationships with friends and family; 
  • Handling stress, anxiety, sadness and loneliness; 
  • And much more. 

Anyone who is concerned about the mental health of a student—faculty, staff, parents, family or friends—will be able to call TELUS to receive after-hours mental health consultation.
