In keeping with the current health practices in NL Health Services, effective Tuesday, Oct. 29, Masks will be required in all clinical areas of the SWCC.  Patients/clients are encouraged to bring their own masks.

The Student Wellness and Counselling Centre (SWCC) at Memorial University provides counselling, and health and wellness support for students, including primary health care, counselling, health promotion, disease prevention and wellness education. 

The centre offers services to students in person, via telephone and virtually. Calls from your clinician will usually appear on your device as a “blocked call” or “unknown caller.” Failure to answer the call will result in a missed physician appointment charge.
