Am I thriving or just surviving? How do I know when it’s time to seek support? Where do I turn to and who can I trust? What is the difference between a crisis and a mental health emergency?

Everyone has mental health, and we all face challenges that can affect our well-being. Mental health is fluid—it exists on a continuum and can shift from day to day. Select the photos above to learn more about the mental health continuum, reflect on where you are right now, discover helpful coping strategies, and find support when you need it.

» If you are thinking about hurting yourself or ending your life, reach out for support now «

If your safety or the safety of others is at imminent risk, seek emergency care immediately:

  • On-Campus: call Special Constable Service Emergency Line: 519.253.3000 ext. 4444
  • Off-Campus: call 911
  • Or attend Windsor Regional Hospital Emergency Department, 1030 Ouellette Ave., Windsor, ON if you are safe to do so.

If safety is not at risk, seek support from a 24/7 crisis service (more can be found here):

  • Call the Employee Assistance Program: 1.833.707.4747
  • Call or text the suicide crisis helpline: 9-8-8
  • Call 519.973.4435 or walk-in 24/7 to the Mental Health & Addictions Urgent Crisis Centre, 1030 Ouellette Ave., Windsor, ON
