Counselling and Learner Life Specialist Services

Students have access to OT-specific short-term counselling services courtesy of the Office of Learner Affairs (OLA). Staff have hours of operation that flexibly meet the needs of OT students, and have excellent knowledge of issues common to students in professional programs such as the MScOT. The services provided by the OLA are in addition to the general counselling services provided by U of T’s Health and Wellness Services, and the UofT Telus Health Student Support service, available to all U of T students.
