Ontario Tech and Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences are collaborating to host a unique mental health and well-being learning center where people with lived experiences navigating wellness through the post-secondary experience (i.e., experts by experience), mental health professionals, and peers come together to co-create and co-deliver courses series on topics that support mental health (e.g., skill building, recreational, vocational, etc.). These courses will provide education about mental health, wellness, and ultimately discovering or rediscovering passions, hope, and meaning. This program can support you by helping you understand your unique challenges and learn how to manage them better in order to pursue your goals. Groups are led by others with "lived experience" of being a student while navigating wellness and are blended with the expertise of mental health practitioners to help participants develop meaningful and practical goals for recovery. The focus is on hope, empowerment, possibility and connection. See you there! For more information, or to register, click here or email here.
