Triage (New this fall!)
In order to make the most efficient use of Concordia’s resources, the university has hired two part-time employees to serve as the first stop for all student mental health queries and requests. These Intake/Triage Coordinators are tasked with helping students navigate Concordia’s slate of wellness offerings and assessing/prioritizing student needs.
The first Intake/Triage Coordinator Concordia hired is alumnus Rebecca Hasbani, who graduated from CUW in 2019 with her bachelor’s degree in psychology. Alumna Kimber Powers also joined the triage team recently. Powers earned double bachelor’s degrees in biomedical science and psychology from CUW.
