Counselling Services

At CVIC Counselling Services are available to all students as part of your enrollment package.

  1. Peer Counselling
  2. From time to time all CVIC students will participate in work shops which help you to cope with the stress of living overseas. You will have the opportunity to share ideas about how to benefit the most from your experiences, or about travel discoveries, Homestay situations or even study techniques. This type of peer counselling is designed to be energetic, low pressure, high value and fun for all. These workshops will be facilitated by the CVIC Instructors.

  3. Private Counselling
  4. Students always have the option of scheduling an appointment with their Student Advisor for personal counselling on a variety of subjects. For example:

    • Program concerns.
    • Culture shock.
    • Problems with other students or staff.
    • Personal difficulties.
    • Travel concerns.
    • Living/community skills.
    • Study techniques.
    • Homestay difficulties.

    Your Student Advisor will provide confidential advice and direct you to as many resources as possible to help you resolve your concern.

    Should your concern be of an urgent nature an Advisor or Director will be immediately available to you.

  5. Homestay Advisor
  6. Your Homestay Advisor is available to you on a one-on-one basis to provide assistance with any Homestay difficulties you may be experiencing.

Note: Advisors are trained to deal with student concerns professionally and sensitively. However, advisors are not qualified to give advice regarding psychological or traumatic emotional situations.
