HEALTH

We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We aim to combat the stigma associated with mental illness and promote self-care. We strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment for all students. 

On-Campus Resources

We recommend students explore the Wellness and Mental Health page at the University of Manitoba. This resource is designed to support your well-being with a wide range of services and information. Discover mental health strategies, self-care practices, and community resources tailored to help you thrive. Take the first step towards a healthier, more balanced life today.
