Health Promotion Programs views wellbeing as a way of living that positively influences how you care for yourself, others and your community. We believe that health is more than just the absence of illness. It is a holistic state encompassing physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing. We are committed to fostering wellbeing for all students by promoting awareness, education and providing programs that empower students and boost their resiliency and connection.
Our mission then is to intentionally cultivate a culture of wellbeing that provides comprehensive programming for all dimensions of student life - including physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects. In doing so, we hope to provide our student community with support, tools and resources to support their their wellbeing journey.
Creating a Supportive Environment
We believe that a sense of belonging and community is essential for individuals to thrive. By organizing inclusive events, creating opportunities for social connections, and providing support services, we aim to create a safe and inclusive space where individuals can seek support, share experiences, and build meaningful relationships.
We aim to offer a wide range of programs and services tailored to address the unique needs and challenges faced by our students. From peer support to interactive workshops on stress management, healthy relationships, nutrition education and mindfulness sessions. Our offerings are designed to promote helpful habits and empower our students to thrive during their university years and beyond.
Promoting Health Education and Awareness
Prevention and education are the cornerstones of wellbeing. We strive to increase awareness about the importance of physical and mental health, healthy lifestyle choices, and preventive measures and where to find supports. We want to equip students with the knowledge to make informed choices, and encourage a culture of proactive health management.
Accessibility and Inclusivity
Accessible to all members of the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ community, regardless of their backgrounds, abilities, or circumstances. We strive to create an inclusive environment that addresses the unique needs of diverse individuals. Our programs are designed to be accessible, culturally sensitive, and inclusive, ensuring that everyone can actively participate and benefit from our initiatives.
Collaboration and Partnerships
We recognize the importance of collaboration and partnerships in promoting wellbeing. We actively seek opportunities to collaborate with other Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ departments, faculties, students and external community organizations to create a comprehensive network of support and resources. By leveraging the expertise and diverse perspectives of our partners, we can maximize the impact of our programs and initiatives.
