At Trebas Institute Quebec Inc., student well-being is a top priority. Our Student Services department has consistently taken initiatives to raise awareness about mental health, offering guidance, support, and referrals to trusted resources throughout Montreal and Quebec. Whether it’s through one-on-one conversations, informative materials, or connecting students with external professionals, our team is always here to help.

We also want to remind students that mental health services are covered under your provincial health insurance card (such as the RAMQ or other valid provincial coverage). This means you have access to a wide range of mental health support, including public clinics, hospitals, and community resources—all at no additional cost.
