The University's Psychiatric Services lists a number of emergency contacts for students (http://www.utoronto.ca/psychservices/emerg.htm). Among these are the Gerstein Centre which offers 24/7 immediate telephone help (416-929-5200). People can also contact Psychiatric services Monday - Friday between 9am and 5pm at 416-978-8070 and be connected with a clinician within one hour.
It takes a great deal of courage for someone to ask for help. Please try to remember this information (or where to find it) and refer people to professional help if it is requested.
As a recent request to one of our services indicates, some students are under a great deal of strain with due-dates and exams drawing near. If a student who is having difficulty coping approaches you, please be reminded that there are services on campus and nearby to which we can refer students.
