Health Promotion
The goal of our Health Promotion team is to educate and empower students to make informed choices that positively impact personal wellness and the wellness of the greater community. We help shape an environment that supports wellness by:
- offering free events and workshops on topics students care about,
- hosting campus-wide campaigns to raise awareness about trending health topics, and
- making reputable health information accessible through our website
Our main areas of focus can be categorized into four themes:
- Stress and mental health
- Sleep
- Sexual health
- Substance use risk-reduction
