The Selkirk College community is saddened by the tragic situation currently taking place in Israel and Palestine. Our hearts are with those directly impacted by this violence and we remain hopeful for a resolve that can bring peace to the region.
The loss of life and escalation of this long-standing conflict impacts the entire college community in some way. We encourage anyone who is feeling distressed by what is unfolding to reach out to available supports at the college. Assistance is available through Counselling Services and other mental health resources, including Here2Talk, which offers all students currently registered in a post-secondary institution in British Columbia access to free, confidential counselling and community referral services.
The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Homewood Health, gives professional, confidential counselling services to employees and their dependent families. The service is voluntary, and the goal of the program is a short-term solution focused on helping employees resolve personal and/or work life issues. Homewood Health can be reached 24/7 at 1-800-663-1142.
