At this time of year, some students may be feeling apprehension about the upcoming exam season. This may be especially true this year with the return of in-person exams that many students have not experienced in a while.
It is completely normal to feel a measure of stress about exams, so if that is your experience, know you are not alone. Also know we have many services and resources available to support your mental health.
The new Wellness website has excellent information, resources and events to support your mental and physical wellness. If you aren’t sure where to start, our Wellness Services Navigator provides a confidential and curated list of mental health and wellness resources. You will answer a series of questions about how you feel and specific concerns to describe your circumstances, and then the navigator will provide a tailored list of resources on campus and in the community for you based on your answers.
Carleton students also have access to free, confidential counselling services, including:
