AUS VP External

Hello everyone! A collective of students, staff, and faculty from the McGill community are coming together to find various ways to support people going through this trying time.

They will be providing the community with various virtual care/ self-care resources. Therefore, they have created a survey to assess the needs of people in the McGill community. Please fill out the survey if you are interested.

Please note that although they are McGill-based, their services are not limited to McGill students. You can also visit their website for additional resources or email us if you have any questions.
