Students Could Lose Mental Health Support, Right Now

The Issue

Mental health support for students in Ontario is at risk right now.

Every day, thousands of post-secondary students depend on mental health care to get through exams, overwhelming stress, and moments of crisis. For many, this support isn’t optional — it’s essential.

 

 

 

 

A pause in public funding has made access uncertain. Mental health challenges do not pause for reviews or delays. When support disappears, students are left to cope alone.


This sends a dangerous message that mental health is less important than money. That is not okay. 

Students need help when they need it, not later.

This petition calls on the Ontario government to ensure students can continue accessing mental health support while reviews are ongoing.

We are working toward 10,000 signatures to protect student mental health without interruption.
