Mental Health Nurses

Mental health nurses provide medical care for concerns related to your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health.

Our services

Our mental health nurses provide mental and physical assessments in order to triage your medical need for support. The mental health nurse assesses a wide range of concerns related to your mental health, which includes understanding the connection between your mental and physical health. We will help you connect with the right resources and supports on- and off-campus.

Who has access?

All current MRU students, employees and faculty are welcome to access this free service. You are not required to have a family doctor in the Health Services clinic to access services from the mental health nurse.

Book an appointment

We book appointments over the phone or in person at the Health Services medical clinic. Appointments are available daily. We do not accept bookings by email or voicemail.

If you book your appointment in-person you will be asked to complete a mental health screen. This may result in a brief "safety check" appointment with the mental health nurse to ensure your safety.

Appointment policies

What can I expect?

When you arrive for your scheduled appointment at the Health Services clinic (U216), new patients will be asked to complete some paperwork and a mental health screen (if not previously completed). Please bring your provincial health care card. During your appointment, the mental health nurse will ask questions to assess your needs while you share your concerns. The nurse will help you identify resources and together you will decide on the next steps. The appointment may take up to one hour.
