Students can book appointments throughout the week or attend drop-in sessions. The drop-in session can accommodate up to 4 students at a time. Please note that students cannot pre-book drop-in times. Please send an e-mail to the Peer Wellness Coordinator at laurenwatson@langara.ca to book an appointment.
