Wellness Centre
COVID Information (Updated Jan. 2021)
Due to COVID-19 the Wellness Centre space in Old Main is currently closed.
In order to continue with wellness services, we are available for virtual health consultations on topics such as nutrition, mild stress, sexual health, wellness planning, sleep hygiene, etc. To schedule an appointment please email Chelsea Corsi (RN), TRU Wellness Coordinator directly at ccorsi@tru.ca. Once your email is received you will be emailed details regarding an appointment time.
Please note that the Wellness Centre is separate from the Counselling Department. If you want to speak to someone more in depth about your mental health, please email Student Services at studentservices@tru.ca to request an appointment with one of the TRU counsellors.
Both wellness and counselling services are confidential.
For the latest information on COVID-19 and the impacts to TRU, please visit tru.ca/covid19.
This year the Wellness Centre will be offering all of our services and events virtually. We will be posting ways you can connect with us once we have determined the best way to offer registration.
