Dear Residents, Don’t forget to complete the Pulse Survey by November 5th to be eligible to win one of the great prizes! I hope you had an amazing month. October is one of my favourite months in residence life. In large part, because of the spooky season but more importantly, because we get to appreciate you. We hope you’ve enjoyed our programs thus far and invite you to join us for our November programs. This month, we will be hosting a series of awesome programs, including annual gingerbread house decorating, craft night, resume building, squid games and our first residence council program to name a few. Keep an eye out for program details at your house bulletin boards, our social channels @parkside111 or visit our site live-parkside.ca/ residence-life. We hope you have a great month! As always we are here for you, do not be afraid to reach out. Cheers,

Daniel Travieso

What is behind the door to your SAP?

How much does it cost?

Your SAP is a voluntary wellness service available to all eligible employees and their family members. Many people face personal problems and pressures in their daily lives. Aspiria’s support and counselling can assist in finding ways to deal with these life challenges.

How are counselling services delivered?

Our services are available through a host of mediums to meet the demands of busy lives, including in-person counselling, e-counselling and telephone counselling.

Is the program confidential?

Yes, all support services accessed voluntarily by an individual are strictly confidential. This means that we will not disclose any information about you to anyone without your expressed consent and authorization (except in cases of medical emergency or legal requirement mandating disclosure, or unless you pose a clear danger to yourself or others).

There is no cost to you. Aspiria’s Student Assistance Program provides free support and counselling for eligible students. We provide clinically appropriate number of sessions for your short term concern. In cases where longterm or more specialized services are required, an Aspiria counsellor will guide individuals through their options.

Diversity and inclusivity matters

Our mental-health supports and services include elements such as childcare and eldercare support, multicultural and faith-based counselling and access to elders for those who wish to access services specifically designed around indigenous health. Our counsellor network offers diversity in the counsellors available to members and their families.
