Active Listening Service
Active Listening is an initiative launched by the Equity Office to respond to the impact of distressing events (such as global conflicts, natural disasters and acts of violence) on the Concordia community.
About the Service
Offered in one-on-one sessions, Active Listening is meant to provide a supportive, non-judgemental space where Concordians can feel listened to, understood and supported.
Active Listening is:
- For all Concordians (students, faculty and staff)
- Available in-person or virtually
- Offered by members of the Concordia community
- Offered at no cost
Active Listening sessions are not counselling, consulting or advising opportunities.
As a student, you can also access active listening as part of peer support at the Zen Dens.
