McGill Mental Health
Services still sickly

graphic by Carina Sorensen / The McGill Daily archives

Students could face long lines and questionable service
TRISTAN LAPOINTE
NEWS WRITER

M

cGill Mental Health Services
(MMHS), long plagued by
insufficient resources and
a lack of staff, will likely continue
to have the same problems into the
coming year.
The service, whose self-described
objectives are “to provide high quality, easily accessible clinical services
to the McGill student body,” has had
a history of long waiting periods
before treatment – and, once seen,
students have complained of poor
quality treatment.
Dr. Norman Hoffman, Director of
MMHS, cites overwhelming student
demands as the reason for MMHS’s
inability to keep up.
“Right now we currently work 385
staff hours a week, and we’ll see nearly 2,500 students by the end of May,”
he said. “This is an increase from all
previous years. In the past four years
we’ve nearly doubled our staff.”
Annual reports from MMHS back
this up. From 2001 to 2005 the number of student visits throughout the
years climbed from 1100 to 2100.
MMHS has already exceeded its time
budget for this year and has been
forced to add another 50 hours a
week to its schedule.
In the past two years, staff hours
per week have been bumped from
253 to 385, and MMHS still has trouble ensuring a consultation within
two weeks.
Triage, a technique of determining who out of a group are the most
severely afflicted patients, is also
practiced at MMHS – with controversial results. While the tactic is good
for clearing out backlogged appointments, it forces through the office as
many as 35 students in 90 minutes
– providing minimal consultation for
disturbed students and sending oth-

ers back to the waiting list.
With the pressure high to get students seen, the office often struggles
with students coming in with diagnoses from elsewhere.
“We’ve had students come here
with some pretty poor diagnoses
and prescriptions that we’ve had to
fix,” said Hoffman, adding that this
was especially difficult for a student
suffering from emotional problems.
One U0 student – who asked
to remain anonymous due to the
nature of the care received – said
she had booked an appointment to
see a doctor at McGill Mental Health
Services to get an antidepressant
medication refilled.

“I

won’t be going back.
They’re not that invested
in actually getting to
know you and trying to
help you.
– U0 student
patient at MMHS
After waiting over an hour, she
was seen by a young medical student who explained that she would
be evaluating her and reviewing the
results with a doctor.
According to the student, the
assistant left after asking her a few
brief questions – and came back
laughing because she had forgotten
to ask “the most important question
– if I had ever thought about committing suicide.”
After answering in the negative,
the student received a new prescription for sleeping pills.
“I started to cry,” said the student.
“I said, ‘I don’t understand – I have
anxiety, which ties into depression.’
I was trying to explain it to her, but

she was really persistent about me
trying the sleeping pills first and
coming back to see her. I couldn’t
even look at her,” she said.
The student never met the doctor
who signed the prescription – and
never received a follow-up call.
“I won’t be going back. They’re
not that invested in actually getting
to know you and trying to help you,”
she said.
MMHS has become so overwhelmed that they’ve resorted to
outsourcing some of their demand
to other institutions across the city.
Some of the more severely affected students are sent to the Argyle
Institute at Jewish General Hospital
for treatment. The office also runs
peer therapy through the Sexual
Assault Centre of McGill Students
Society and their own therapy group
Talking Heads.
But Hoffman said this was only
a band-aid fix – and a real solution
could be found in more medical
personnel and more physical space
for the office.
“Montreal is suffering from a
shortage of psychiatric professionals. It ends up being very difficult for
us to find staff and opportunities for
outsourcing,” he said.
The physical offices at MMHS are
also a source of trouble – with several
full time staffers, including the director, forced to share time between as
many as three offices.
Still, Hoffman attributed the overwhelming demand for Mental Health
Services to the stresses of student
life.
“Many students have unstable life
conditions and few attachments to
adults or authority figures to help
ground them. That, combined with
the pressures of a top tier school and
a society that generally rejects emotions, is what could be creating the
problem we have here,” he said.

Briefs
Judicial Board could
meet today
SSMU’s Judicial Board – its highest decision-making body – could
meet as early as today to rule on
the legitimacy of SSMU’s Presidential
election and the constitutionality of
blood drives.
The Judicial Board had been
unable to meet because it did not
have the three members required
after a former Justice resigned.
A third member was selected
Tuesday.
“Pending availability of all
parties, the board could meet
[today],” President Aaron DonnyClark said.
The decision could bring a quick
close to presidential candidate Floh
Herra-Vega’s case against Elections
McGill’s Chief Returning Officer
Bryan Badali. After losing to Jake
Itzkowitz by a 54-vote margin, HerraVega challenged the legitimacy of the
elections, claiming that election bylaws were not enforced after many of
her posters were ripped down.
In the response Badali submitted last night to Herra-Vega’s case,
he argued that publicly censuring
Itzkowitz would have implied his
culpability for the missing posters
– something he could not ascertain.
Another case waiting for the
Judicial Board’s attention, filed by
Donny-Clark, challenges the constitutionality of a referendum question
that asked students whether “SSMU
should reinstate blood drives in the
Shatner building.”
SSMU banned blood drives from
the Shatner building in November
after deciding that Héma-Québec’s
refusal to accept donated blood from
men who have had sex with men since
1977 violates SSMU’s constitution.
Because no one partial to the
outcome of the Judicial Board’s
rulings can participate in its hiring process, nominating committee
members Donny-Clark, Itzkowitz,
Herra-Vega, and VP External Affairs
Max Silverman – who supported
Herra-Vega’s campaign – did not
participate.
In place of Donny-Clark, VP
Finance and Operations David
Sunstrum chaired the committee.

Sunstrum may dispute
GA education policy
Next week, VP Finance and
Operations Dave Sunstrum may ask
SSMU Council to overturn a clause
in a General Assembly (GA) motion
mandating the Students’ Society to
fight for free education.
Sunstrum argued that because
the motion was not debated before
students voted on it at the February
GA, it is unrepresentative of student
opinion.
“The reaction I get from most students is that SSMU is at the fringe of
most political beliefs,” he said, adding that he was considering asking
Council to change it.

Among other clauses, the
motion mandated SSMU to
oppose non-consensual student
fee increases, and work with other
student groups toward a governmental reinvestment in education
and the elimination of tuition and
ancillary fees.
Sunstrum said that, had there
been more time to debate the
motion, a more nuanced and representative policy that did not include
the elimination of tuition fees could
have passed.
“Debate was limited on a motion
that will determine our external
policy for years to come,” he said.
“There was a huge line...[but only
a few] people spoke for it, [a few]
people spoke against it, and people
amending it were stupid.”
Asked if it would be undemocratic of SSMU Council to strike down
part of a mandate that came directly
from students, Sunstrum said that
elected councilors are responsible
for ensuring that SSMU represents
students.
“Council is also a representative
body,” he said, adding that he would
have taken his concerns to a GA
instead, but would not be at McGill
next year.

SSMU server hacked
Although SSMU’s web site has
already been down for a month,
don’t try logging on anytime soon;
it will take about a month to get it
operating again on a different, temporary server.
According to SSMU VP Clubs &amp;
Services Floh Herra-Vega, who has
been involved in efforts to restore
the web site, the trouble began long
before the web site’s server crashed
in early March.
She said that a strange spike in
activity on January 23 was evidence
that someone had hacked the SSMU
server.
“That server has been hacked
before…it’s basically just a really
sketchy little piece of software and
hardware, so it’s not surprising that
someone would break entry,” HerraVega said.
When
SSMU
Network
Administrator and Information
Technology Director Ricardo Núñez
tried to log onto the server, it
crashed and he no longer felt comfortable operating on it, according
to Herra-Vega. SSMU then hired
an external company to handle the
problem; Núñez left his position
Friday.
While the company SSMU hired
has restored the server’s data, the
web site won’t be visible because the
company still needs about a month
to install the new hardware.
Regardless, the web site will
soon be redesigned and its content put onto a more reliable server over the summer, according to
VP Communications &amp; Events Gill
Prendergast.
According to Herra-Vega, the
ordeal is costing SSMU around
$35,000.
Neither
Herra-Vega
nor
Prendergast would comment on who
might have hacked the server.

Originally, SPHR had planned to

“Basically, [Di Grappal just told us,

Hoffman also noted the importance of maintaining an affordservice at McGill.
“We. really want to continue a

Shore said that while Student

expand the Brown Building to

in the immediate future:
“a building can't be expanded
