Peer-to-peer support

Our Wellness Peers provide health and wellness support when issues are hard to manage alone. Wellness Peers are trained to ensure a student's safety and care are a priority. They are well-informed resources and supports on and off campuses and can direct you to needed spaces.

"The physical Wellness Centre space is made to help everyone feel calm, included, and safe. It is lit up by lamps, not harsh fluorescent lights. There are lots of pillows, blankets, and soft, squishy things to cuddle. It is a wonderful space to find some peace and quiet!I would recommend this space to all students; sometimes we need a space to de-stress that is not filled with other people. "

- Jada M, BSW student (3rd year)
