Team approach
A rotating team from the Peterborough Civic Hospital clinic will join Trent's full-time psychologist to provide professional counselling this year to students.

        The team approach mirrors that of Trent's Health Services, which employs a rotation of doctors to see students during the week.

        The new counselling team replaces the service previously provided by one full-time counsellors who left last year.

        "The new structure does not save any money, but does offer students who use this office a greater range of service," says John Earnshaw, acting vice-president administration.
