Canadore College has launched a three-year student mental health and well-being strategy.
The framework will enhance and guide the development and evolution of student support services.
“A working group of Canadore students, faculty and staff from various departments began working on the strategy well before the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to lock-down,” stated Shawna Nielsen, Director, Student Experience and Success. “We could not have foreseen the global pandemic and the complicating challenges it has created in terms of social isolation, or the limitations we have to deliver our support programs and services, so, this strategy could not be more timely.”
The plan will be rolled out in the next few months with community partners invited to team up with Canadore on implementation of the plan, which can be viewed at www.canadorecollege.ca/mentalhealth.
