Student Wellness
Why visit the Wellness Centre?
A calm space to relax and recharge
The Wellness Centre is a dedicated space for students to lounge, read, and relax. We offer nourishing snacks, coffee, and tea. You will find an assortment of wellness books, activities, and games for well-needed restoration.
Peer-to-peer support
Our Wellness Peers provide one-to-one 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.
Connection groups
For social well-being, our Wellness Peers and Educators offer a space to connect over honest and fun topics each week. This is an opportunity to meet like-minded students, discuss health and wellness topics, play games, and socialize.
Pick up health & wellness items
Our spaces provide sexual health info, freebies (condoms, pregnancy kits, dental dams, lube samples) as well as free naloxone kits.

"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. "
