FAQ
How do I refer a student to counselling?
No referral is necessary; students can book an appointment through our counselling student portal or by emailing letstalk@georgebrown.ca,letstalkcl@georgebrown.ca,letstalkwf@georgebrown.ca
If you have concerns about a student’s safety contact Public Safety and Security for urgent situations or emergency services, for non-urgent situations can send an email to letstalk@georgebrown.ca and someone from our team will reach out to you and/or the student.
