Student Wellness

Supporting your wellness journey

What does your holistic wellness look like?

We want you to feel empowered to take control of your wellness journey. This means having spaces to discover and celebrate wellness on campus. 

Student Wellness will offer a variety of resources to help you find, access, and honour your wellness on our website and the Wellness Centre. Look out for updated resources that reflect the current and ongoing research on health and wellness for post-secondary students. We encourage you to stay close and check back regularly!

If you have feedback to share about the Student Wellness website or a new resource topic to suggest, please use the website feedback form.

"One unique aspect of the Wellness Centre is that you can talk one-on-one with a peer to receive support and resources to help with your well-being. This is especially helpful if you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or just want someone to talk to."

- Arshdeep W, BSc student (3rd year)
