How does Good2Talk support Ontario post-secondary students while they’re outside of Canada?

Ontario post-secondary students who are outside of Canada can still access Good2Talk’s phone service and online wellness resources.

Is this service for me?

If you’re a student currently registered with an Ontario post-secondary institution, and you’re outside of Canada (e.g. travelling, studying abroad, home for a break, learning remotely, etc.), you can use Good2Talk’s international toll-free numbers to connect for support.

Post-secondary institutions include, but aren’t limited to, colleges, universities, trade schools and Indigenous institutions.

To use this service, you can be a full-time or part-time student, including an international student, at an Ontario post-secondary institution, even if you’re currently outside of Canada.

Good2Talk can provide information about and / or referrals to services within Canada. We can’t provide information about and / or referrals to services outside of Canada.

The interpreter will translate as you talk with a team member at Good2Talk.

What do I do if I need urgent help?
