At the Mount, we understand that the journey through university can be both exciting and challenging. Whether you’re having trouble managing time, dealing with relationship issues, stressed about exams or coping with depression and/or anxiety, please know that you’re not alone and that there are people (and puppies!) right here on campus who can help:
