24/7 Support for Our Students

In recent years, mental health-related issues have afflicted students at alarming rates. Though anxiety and depression are some of the top reasons, students may also seek support for reasons such as:

  • Difficulty adjusting to life while at school
  • Procrastination and building time management skills
  • Anxiety about public speaking
  • Worries about upcoming exams
  • Stress due to financial challenges
  • Loneliness or homesickness
  • Suicidal ideations and more.

The innovative GuardMe Student Support Program (GMSSP) provides 24/7 support to all CBBC Career College students. The program includes direct support for students and consultative support for the faculty and staff who work with them.

The GuardMe Student Support Program provides confidential support to students at no cost to them, with 24/7 access to support from counselors who speak their language and understand their culture and the unique challenges they face. Through the ‘TELUS Health Student Support’ app, students also have access to various multi-lingual articles, videos, and other mental health resources and direct access to a counselor by telephone or chat.

What Our Graduates Are Saying

This program prepared me and gave me the confidence to enter the real business world. The close knit atmosphere CBBC has, made me very comfortable. Each and every staff member at CBBC was extraordinarily helpful on my journey in obtaining a full-time Administrative Assistant position in Cape Breton.
