Social Support

Stay Connected

• Zoom web conferencing is now available to students, staff and faculty to support online learning, meetings between students, staff and faculty and to promote collaboration.

Peer Support

The Peer Support program aims to create a safe, inviting space where students can discuss student-life concerns with a trained peer supporter who can listen, validate, and refer. Peer Support is a collaboration of the Student Wellness Centre, Graduate Students’ Association, and Canadian Mental Health Association.
