Our Mission
Our mission is to promote mental health awareness and well-being among the graduate student population at the University of Toronto. We take a three-pronged approach to achieve our mission that encompasses:
Education
To Promote Wellness
Mental health is complex. Our goal is to provide students with tools and resources that may help improve their overall mental health and well-being.
Advocacy
To Raise Awareness
Mental health conversations are essential; we can't be silent anymore. Our aim is to diminish the shame and stigma that surrounds mental health.
Collaboration
To Create Partnerships
Mental health is important for everyone to talk about. We provide a platform for students, staff, and community initiatives to share their messages.
Our Events, Projects, and Initiatives
We are always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help out with our year round projects!
